Great book for All Hallows Eve, esp for Catholics Corinna always tells a great story. This one is not as action-packed as others, but has real heart and a great lesson. I do love this trio.

A beautiful addition to Peter Pan I read through this in less than a day, it was so good. Now, I feel both sad and satisfied. A great read for kids or adults.

Quotes by Karina Lumbert Fabian (?)

“Deryl, we all make mistakes; we all get twisted in some way or another. Some of us do horrifying, evil things. But that doesn’t make us evil, and yanking out a chunk of your personality isn’t going to make you good. It just makes you incomplete.”
― Karina L. Fabian, Mind Over All

Karina’s Quotes
