“Conversation was only awkward because she searched for something important to say. Friends didn't do that. Friends let their thoughts become words without trying to change them.”
Kate Willis, Kiera

“Singing rose up from the convent, filling the woods with a peaceful echo that tried to penetrate her heart and smooth her features; but nothing could ease the pain of saying goodbye.”
Kate Willis, The Twin Arrows

“Amy is short for something.”
Kate Willis, Sincerely, Jem
