Quotes by Paula Bernstein (?)

“I've always thought that people's books were the most accurate reflection of their minds. I grew up in a house full of books with a mother who made a weekly pilgrimage to the Brooklyn Public Library. I'd always felt confused in the homes of friends whose parents didn't have any.”
― Paula Bernstein, Murder in the Family
