Quotes by Deborah Reed (?)

“But not every kind of love called for action. Some demanded one stay put, allowing for nothing more than it to be exactly as it was.”
― Deborah Reed, Things We Set on Fire

“Happiness, not in another place but this place . . . not for another hour, but this hour.”
― Deborah Reed, Olivay

“Knowing how to make a life mean something, to wring out its worth when it was right there in one’s hands instead of just wishing about it afterward, or imagining how it could have been, or should have been, different.”
― Deborah Reed, Things We Set on Fire

To The Bright Edge of the World

by Eowyn Ivey

A story shot through with a darker but potent strand of the magic that illuminated The Snow Child, and with the sweep and insight that characterizes Rose Tremain's The Colour, this novel from Pulitzer Prize finalist Eowyn Ivey singles her out as a major literary talent.

by Deborah Reed
Brimming with empathy, The Days When Birds Come Back, like the house itself, is a graceful testament to endurance, rebuilding, and the possibilities of coming home.
