Lauren’s Notes & Highlights

Book cover for What the Living Do

What the Living Do by Marie Howe

What happened in our house taught my brothers how to leave, how to walk down a sidewalk without looking back. I was the girl. What happened taught me to follow him, whoever he was, calling and calling his name.
