I—we—can’t let ourselves get to that place of parallel living. We have to talk. As long as we’re talking, I know we’ll be okay. We may say some things we regret or that come out the wrong way, but it’s better than silence.”

“God. A woman becomes a responsible parent when she stops being an obedient daughter. When she finally understands that she is creating something different from what her parents created. When she begins to build her island not to their specifications but to hers. When she finally understands that it is not her duty to convince everyone on her island to accept and respect her and her children. It is her duty to allow onto her island only those who already do and who will walk across the drawbridge as the beloved, respectful guests they are.”
