“... home was not just a cabin in a deep woods that overlooked a placid cove. Home was a state of mind, the peace that came from being who you were and living an honest life.”
― Kristin Hannah, The Great Alone

“You don’t stop loving a person when they’re hurt. You get stronger so they can lean on you.”
― Kristin Hannah, The Great Alone

“Books are the mile markers of my life. Some people have family photos or home movies to record their past. I’ve got books. Characters. For as long as I can remember, books have been my safe place. I read about places I can barely imagine and lose myself in journeys to foreign lands to save girls who didn’t know they were really princesses.”
― Kristin Hannah, The Great Alone

“like all fairy tales, theirs was filled with thickets and dark places and broken dreams, and runaway girls.”
― Kristin Hannah, The Great Alone
