“My mother once told me that a lifetime of good enough was a fair price to pay for a single moment of pure happiness.”
― Karen White, The Forgotten Room

“I’ve always thought my attraction to water was because it offers an unending source of renewal. It’s there with each wave—with each tide. Always wiping the shore clean of all imperfections in time for the next tide.”
― Karen White, Flight Patterns

“There is an unease in you, too, which I sensed. You remind me of an anchor searching for a spot to latch on to.”
― Karen White, The House on Tradd Street

“Because a garden is the heart of a house, where love is the seed and the dark earth like a mother who nurtures her saplings until they bloom, and then waits for them with furrowed arms to return. It is the story told again and again from my garden: from dust we begin, and to dust we will return again.”
― Karen White, The House on Tradd Street
