“I like writing about children because that is a time of life when our perceptions of the world are very intense, and children are so vulnerable to the fortunes of adults”
Annie Murray

“Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there, I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow. I am the diamond glint on snow.”
Annie Murray, Papa Georgio

“without”
Annie Murray, All the Days of Our Lives
