Quotes by Zosia Wand  (?)

“This is why I write. I write to take control. I was a lonely child in a chaotic environment and I was powerless. My stories allow me to create fictional worlds where I have the power to lead my characters through the chaos to a better place. I explore the dark side of life, but there is a counterbalance. My characters experience challenges and difficulties, but they are also offered sources of kindness and support. They don’t always recognise this, but it is there for them to find. Rather like life, as I have found.”
