“Ever since the fire I have only been half listening to stuff my parents have been saying about God. I guess the part inside of me
that trusted God before got burned down with everything else. I started blaming myself and Him.
Now, it's hitting me that He cares. God never left me, even though I've just been leaving him for a while.”

“I try to remind myself that I made the right choice, even when
Aunt Liliana, Carly, and Ian come back with flushed faces and smiles.
I tell myself it's fine, even when they keep talking about it all the way back to Aunt Liliana’s house. It wasn't worth the risk”
