Joanne Harris
“Her favorite chocolates are mendiants; her favorite color is bright red. Her favorite scent is mimosa. She can swim like a fish. She hates black shoes. She loves the sea. She's got a scar on her left hip from when she fell out of a Polish goods train. She doesn't like having curly hair, even though it's gorgeous. She likes the Beatles, but not the Stones. She used to steal menus from restaurants because she could never afford to eat there herself. She's the best mother I've ever met-" He paused. "And she doesn't need your charity. As for Rosette..." He picked her up and held her so that her face was almost touching his own. "She's my little girl. And she's perfect.”
Joanne Harris, The Girl with No Shadow

“You know, I was nineteen when Sage was born.” In the language of a man settling in for a
spell, he propped one work-booted foot on his knee. “Jo was eighteen. Couple of kids who
thought we knew it all, had it all covered. Then, you have a kid of your own, and the whole
world shifts. There’s a part of me that’s been worried for thirty-three years now.” He smiled as
he said it. “I guess there’s just more parts of me worried when it comes to Fox. And truth? It
pisses me off that he had his childhood, his innocence stolen from him. He came home that
day, his tenth birthday, and he was never a little boy, not in the same way, again.
