“Cora Zeng does not get angry because anger always melts through her fingers until it is a pool of anguish under her feet. There is not enough oxygen inside Cora to keep anger burning. No matter how hard she tries, she can only wield her sharpest thoughts against her own f lesh. She knows, on some level, that most of the problems in her life are her own fault in one way or another.

― Daria Lavelle, Aftertaste

“Gertie had come to realize that wars weren't fought by generals and politicians. They were fought by armies of ordinary people battling, struggling and holding one another up as they pushed onward. Ordinary people living through extraordinary times, making a difference through small endeavors and vast courage.”
