“Love and fear. The most destructive forces on earth. Fear had turned her inside out, love had made her stupid.”
― Kristin Hannah, The Great Alone

“It’s scary that people can just stop loving you, you know?”
― 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
