Anne  Allen
“The island was working its magic, accepting her as one of its own.”
Anne Allen, The Ghost of Seagull Cottage: Inspired by The Ghost and Mrs Muir

Brooke McAlary
“Because what is privilege if not an opportunity? Opportunity to make things better for everyone? Opportunity to see inequity and rectify it? Opportunity to take these immense and lucky gifts and make them count toward a better world for those who didn't win the arbitrary where-you-were-born lottery?”
Brooke McAlary, Slow: Simple Living for a Frantic World
