Quotes by Patricia O'Brien (?)

“He had illuminated the heartbreaking cruelty of war: When men who fight become nothing, only packages of bones and blood deposited in the earth with no clarion call to memory, those they love are left without a way to make such devastating loss hold meaning.”
― Patricia O'Brien, The Glory Cloak: A Novel of Louisa May Alcott and Clara Barton

“The women who went to the field, you say...
A few names were writ, and by chance live to-day;
But's a perishing record fast fading away,
Of those we recall, there are scarcely a score...
And what would they do if war came again?...
They would stand with you now, as they stood with you then,
The nurses, consolers, and saviors of men.”
― Patricia O'Brien, The Glory Cloak: A Novel of Louisa May Alcott and Clara Barton

“I was seeing what a writer can do with the tatters of truth, the unfinished stories that give us no rest. ”
