This was a fascinating read, and I learned a lot about the history of logging and the way it shaped the Midwest, specifically Wisconsin. As usual, writing partners Susan Apps-Bodilly and her father, Jerry Apps, are such a wealth of information.While ...more

Quotes by Amy Gail Hansen  (?)

“Ah, that is the miracle of the written word. It beckons our unconscious out of hiding. It tells us things we need to know, sometimes things we don’t want to know.”
Amy Gail Hansen, The Butterfly Sister

“The past is a funny thing, Ruby. It is nature’s most underestimated ghost. It is still very much alive. Its heart still beats, it haunts. And it is always impacting, always dictating the future, which eventually becomes the past. You see, it multiplies, this enigma. It grows larger and larger until at the end, it swallows your entire life. Every day, every moment becomes the past.”
Amy Gail Hansen, The Butterfly Sister

“Without the opportunity to fully express herself and her creativity—without money and a room of one’s own—a woman can simply go mad.”
Amy Gail Hansen, The Butterfly Sister
