“I’ve thought long and hard about how to tell you this story. If I gave you the truth – about me and my sister, the house and the cold and the hunger – you’d know, but you wouldn’t understand … Every detail that didn’t match your own life would become another sandbag against your fear. When you felt safe enough, different enough, exceptional enough, you would forget.”
