As far as her book goes: I picked this up on a rainy day exploration of the Milk River library. It was a cute little place in a cute little town i

The story is a bit like the illustrations: loose and messy and a bit chaotic, but often beautiful, and once in a while poignant. Feels like a collection of greeting cards, but very beautiful ones.
Seeking Persephone by Sarah M. Eden

Brit Stanford, The Timespeaker: A Dark Fantasy Adventure

“I didn't know how lonely I was until I wasn't.”
Brit Stanford

“No whimpering, madam! You can't have the joys of motherhood without some of its pangs! Think of your blessings, and don't be a coward!—”
Kate Douglas Wiggin, Mother Carey's Chickens

“We'll never speak of 'last times,' Gilly, or where would any of us be? We'll always think of 'next' times. I shall trust Nancy next time, and next time and next time, and keep on trusting till I can trust her forever!”
Kate Douglas Wiggin, Mother Carey's Chickens

“  "And all the bars at which we fret,   That seem to prison and control,   Are but the doors of daring set   Ajar before the soul.”
Kate Douglas Wiggin, Mother Carey's Chickens

“You seem to have an uncommon knowledge of young people. May I ask if you are, or have been, a teacher?" "Oh no!" Mrs Carey remarked with a smile, I am just a mother- that's all!”
Kate Douglas Wiggin, Mother Carey's Chickens
