Angela Boord is a hopeless romantic, a nerdy introvert, and the author of SPFBO5 Finalist FORTUNE’S FOOL. She can usually be found with her nose in a book when she’s not writing her own dark fantasy epics of hope, redemption, and relationships in all their messy glory. Angela and her husband live in northern Mississippi in a house full of children, books, and innumerable quantities of Legos.

Quotes by Angela Boord  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Loving a woman and taking care of children didn’t make him weak.”
Angela Boord, The Alchemy of Sorrow

“Sometimes you don’t get a second chance. You have to accept, finally, that you can’t make it better or different, no matter how awful the thing is. The best you can do is pick yourself up and keep going. Try to be better in the future. To be more than you think you can be, after you’ve taken that kind of blow.”
Angela Boord, The Alchemy of Sorrow

“…he realized now they weren’t meant for each other, and he hadn’t known what it was to be a man when they met. He’d thought it had to do with strength you could show off and brandish at other men like a weapon. But that kind of strength was sorry and weak when it came down to it, like a cheap disguise he used to cover all his fears. It was so much harder to take responsibility for the care of those most dear to him. That responsibility was terrifying and utterly necessary, and he understood now how much actual strength it took to do it. He didn’t know if he would ever have enough.”
Angela Boord, The Alchemy of Sorrow
