Quotes by Amanda Wen (?)

“I've prayed and begged and cried out until I'm hoarse and he says nothing. Silence. I'd like to say I know he hasn't turned his face from me, that he's still present with me...but I can't and I think it'll be the death of me.”
― Amanda Wen, Roots of Wood and Stone

“I stopped talking with God altogether. Either He didn't exist or His purpose was to gut me like a fish. Either way, I was through.”

“He didn't want to hope. Hope had crushed him in the past. Over and over he'd reeled from its blows.”
