“Photographs were such powerful magic. It was a gift from the God of Immortality. I felt like both my mom and dad were on either side of my shoulder as I flipped through the album. For the first time in my life, I didn’t feel like an orphan. For the first time, I felt the warmth and love of a complete family through the album.”
Tshetrim Tharchen, A Play of the Cosmos: Script of the Stars

Sarah  Chamberlain
“So after Lisa died, Greg looked after you?"
"Sure. I went to school, had a roof over my head, had enough to eat."
His eyes narrowed. "That's the bare minimum, Mari. Victorian orphans got that."
"No wonder I liked David Copperfield so much," I said coolly.”
Sarah Chamberlain, Love Walked In
