“Together? How would that work?” “Okay, not together together. But we could do it over the phone. There aren’t that many pages left in either book. We could take turns, with me reading from Forever, and Other Lies and you Regretting Belle. We could schedule a couple of reading dates. Well, not dates, but you know, set a regular time. Maybe an hour. Or less if you want. Unless you don’t have time. And you probably don’t with your writing. Never mind, it was a silly idea.”
― Barbara Davis, The Echo of Old Books

“Every soul creates an echo. Like a fingerprint or signature that becomes infused in the things around us. Who we are. Where we belong. What we’re meant to bring to the world. No two echoes are alike. They are ours and ours alone. But they’re incomplete—one half of a perfect whole. Like a mirror without a reflection. And so each echo is constantly seeking its other half, to complete itself. That is what we look for in a reading, a sign that the lovers’ echoes are a match.”
― Barbara Davis, The Keeper of Happy Endings

“But I have learned this. In every wound, there is a gift.”
― Barbara Davis, The Echo of Old Books

“Every heart has a signature, a unique echo that ripples out into the world. And every echo has a match. When those echoes connect, they become so attuned that even if they be separated, they continue to seek one another.”
― Barbara Davis, The Keeper of Happy Endings
