Quotes by Alice Valdal (?)

“You can stretch to your fullest in this land, Emma, and not touch any edges. There's no dream too big for the wilderness. I'd hate to see it tamed and carved up into little fiefdoms.”
― Alice Valdal, Her One and Only

“It was time to open the windows of her soul, allow the light and warmth of the sun to penetrate the chill recesses of her heart.”
― Alice Valdal, The Man for Her

“Sean was waiting for her, dressed in his Sunday suit, his hair slicked down. He looked so handsome and so like Patrick he took her breath away. For one brief moment she felt as though she had stepped back to the time when she hadn’t a care in the world and love sweetened every waking moment.”
― Alice Valdal, The Man for Her
