The Berry Pickers by Amanda    Peters
"4.5 stars- I didn’t know what to expect when I picked this up (I thought it would lean more towards a mystery and was so glad to be wrong), but I was deeply moved by Norma and Joe’s stories over the years. I really enjoyed the author’s writing style." Read more of this review »

Quotes by Amanda Peters  (?)

“I found it strange that no word exists for a parent who loses a child. If children lose their parents, they are orphans. If a husband loses his wife, he’s a widower. But there’s no word for a parent who loses a child. I’ve come to believe that the event is just too big, too monstrous, too overwhelming for words. No word could ever describe the feeling, so we leave it unsaid.”
Amanda Peters, The Berry Pickers

“Anger is exhausting. Holding on to it will drain the life out of you.”
Amanda Peters, The Berry Pickers

“Time quickens the older you get, as if the universe is trying to push you toward the finish line, to make room for the younger, the stronger, to mark your brief place in history and move on.”
Amanda Peters, The Berry Pickers
