"
Such a suspenseful first book. I was gripped from the beginning. Kyla created excellent characters. The plot of a woman escaping her captor during an EMP strike. Is genius. This is a whole knew level of EMP and horror . I HIGHLY recommend this novel. ...more "

“Corruption is a cancer, a cancer that eats away at a citizen’s faith in democracy…. It saps the collective strength and resolve of a nation. Corruption is just another form of tyranny.” —Joe Biden, Kyiv, Ukraine, 2014

“Be reverent before the dawning day. Do not think of what will be in a year, or in ten years. Think of to-day.”

“Books have a unique way of stopping time in a particular moment and saying: Let’s not forget this.”

“The best index to a person's character is how he treats people who can't do him any good, and how he treats people who can't fight back.”

“Don’t forget that the land is always out there, making its way, doing everything it can so you can breathe fresh air; so you can eat fresh food; so you can move and see and feel and think, and it’s on your side. The world is out there doing what it’s been doing way before you came here, it’s firm and strong and it takes a lot to bring it down.
so from time to time, just go outside and look at this spectacle. This pure painting right in front of your eyes. No one created it. No one owns it. It doesn’t want anything. It doesn’t need to prove anything to anyone. It simply is.
So maybe, try a little tenderness. Just give it a chance to do what it can do. Just let it help you
breathe
and eat
and move
and see
and maybe just try to live your life in a way that doesn’t kill this force of nature
that is just trying to give you a world worth living in. A clean world. A fresh world.
Paths, forests, oceans, animals, oxygen, water. That’s all it takes.
Just try a little tenderness towards this world we’ve been lucky enough to build our homes on.
If you take care of it, it will take care of you.”
