    “I remember not belonging. I was always Summer’s older sister—the plain one with the red hair and a gap between her front teeth. The first boy I had a crush on said my teeth looked like piano keys. My smile hid behind by hand until one day the captain of the hockey team said I looked like Madonna. It was like instant validation. Mine wasn’t a flaw, it was a feature . . . my unique trademark. I knew then I didn’t want to be perfect nor was my self-esteem tied to any clique.
    Starla reassuring teenage Willa of the correct perspective on self esteem and self-worth.”

    “Helen was lost and isolated, unable to participate with the rest of
    the group. She was outside the circle with no sense of any connection
    to a Creator, and no concept of what unconditional love might feel
    like. If any type of God had indeed created her, then that Deity had
    made a mistake too cruel to forgive.”

    “Scott could feel the contents of his stomach flip over and over on themselves. He turned to the side and retched, frothy yellow bile spilled out onto the newspaper covered floor, filling the room with the putrid stench of previously ingested alcohol.

    'Look's like someone can't hold their drink,' McBlane said, and Dominic and Shugg laughed.

    Scott was still staring at the steam rising from his evacuated stomach contents as he heard the hammer fall. The dull crack of bone splintering under its weight.”
