“Taking care of the house feels endless, and often purposeless. The kitchen floor is clean on Tuesday but by Thursday it’s dirty. She used to have set days when she cleaned the floor but lately she just seems to clean it every day, sometimes twice a day. There is nothing to show for those hours. The children, of course, add purpose, but the house feels like a set of posts without a goal.”

“That’s why I put my career first. Not because I have no life, but because I can’t bear to let the one Mom wanted for us slip away. Because I need to know Libby and Brendan and the girls and I will all be okay no matter what, because I want to carve out a piece of the city and its magic, just for us. But carving turns you into a knife. Cold, hard, sharp, at least on the outside.”
