Quotes by Sabra Waldfogel (?)

“they could no longer see him.”
― Sabra Waldfogel, Sister of Mine

“Every place that’s private and secret, I’m your sister.” She drew a deep ragged breath. “But I ain’t your sister at the Sabbath table, or in the parlor with the ladies of Cassville, or at the synagogue in Savannah, and I’ll never be.”
― Sabra Waldfogel, Sister of Mine

“milk brothers.” It was a brotherhood that wouldn’t survive their earliest years. A little white boy of seven was a Massa in miniature. A little brown boy of seven was a slave.”
