It was, she’d found, only in her favorite books that the world worked out exactly as it should. Family and Brayden filled the lonely places. Work helped, and books healed.
100% TRUTH!!! Fell in love with books when i was 3 and that love has never wavered, nor have books ever let me down. They have gotten me thru good times, long road trips, lonely and insecure times, heartbreak, disappointment, fear, single parenthood, 3 rounds of cancer, childhood ups and downs, teenage years(it was the best of times; it was the worst of times-- lol, wonder if Dickens knew he perfectly wtrdescribed the highs and lows, the euphoria and woes, the brash confidence and the crippling insecurity that often occupy the same kid in the very same moment... the sheer exhausting drama, internal and external-it's a wonder anyone makes it out alive)... Books saved my life and my sanity. Still do.

“Compromise where you can. Where you can't, don't. Even if everyone is telling you that something wrong is something right. Even if the whole world is telling you to move, it is your duty to plant yourself like a tree, look them in the eye, and say 'No, you move'.”

“What really knocks me out is a book that, when you're all done reading it, you wish the author that wrote it was a terrific friend of yours and you could call him up on the phone whenever you felt like it. That doesn't happen much, though.”

“Listen to the mustn'ts, child. Listen to the don'ts. Listen to the shouldn'ts, the impossibles, the won'ts. Listen to the never haves, then listen close to me... Anything can happen, child. Anything can be.”
