Quotes by Frances Wood (?)

“Beneath and around the dead and ruined chaparral rise the most amazingly beautiful flowers. Tulips and wind poppies and flame poppies, whispering bells and suncups. These are flowers that grow only after a burn. Only in a land once dead. You never see them otherwise

When my eyes closed I can see those flowers now. They are a promise: that the land will regrow, that even after a disaster life continues, that wonders abound. k”
― Frances Wood, Daughter of Madrugada

“How did Bullet make you understand?" she asked Roy.

"he came tearing into the yard where I was talking to Mr. Henderson," answered Roy, "and tried to pull me towards the barn, where Trigger was tied. When I didn't go, he got Trigger's bridle and brought it to me. I realized then that there was something wrong, and I cam as fast as I could.”
