Book cover for Silver Sparrow
Abandonment doesn’t have the sharp but dissipating sting of a slap. It’s like a punch to the gut, bruising your skin and driving the precious air from your body.

Robin DiAngelo
“stopping our racist patterns must be more important than working to convince others that we don’t have them.”
Robin DiAngelo, White Fragility: Why It's So Hard for White People to Talk About Racism

Jacqueline Woodson
“This is the way brown people have to fight, my grandfather says. You can’t just put your fist up. You have to insist on something gently. Walk toward a thing slowly. But be ready to die, my grandfather says, for what is right. Be ready to die, my grandfather says, for everything you believe in.”
Jacqueline Woodson, Brown Girl Dreaming

Lindsay C. Gibson
“But emotionally immature people have a completely unrealistic view of what forgiveness means. To them, forgiveness should make it like the rift never happened, as though a completely fresh start is possible. They have no awareness of the need for emotional processing or the amount of time it may take to rebuild trust after a major betrayal. They just want things to be normal again. Others' pain is the only fly in the ointment. Everything would be fine if others would just get past their feelings about the situation.”
Lindsay C. Gibson, Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents: How to Heal from Distant, Rejecting, or Self-Involved Parents

T.J. Klune
“His smile faded slightly. “More than anything. I know I’m…” He clacked his black teeth. “Different.” Linus startled. “No, that’s not what I—there’s not a single thing wrong with you.” “I know,” Chauncey said. “Different doesn’t mean bad. Arthur says being different is sometimes better than being the same as everyone else.”
T.J. Klune, The House in the Cerulean Sea

Lindsay C. Gibson
“Unfortunately, if their parents aren’t interested in noticing their impacts on others, they have no impetus to look at themselves; without such self-reflection, there’s no way to change.”
Lindsay C. Gibson, Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents: How to Heal from Distant, Rejecting, or Self-Involved Parents
