“Unconsciously, Amah's hand smoothed my hair, falling back into the old rhythms of childhood as though I were really only knee-high and had come to seek solace in her lap. "And now you. You are my little girl too." We clung to each other like two shipwrecked survivors.”

Sooner than later she would need someone to care for her.”
