“Longing wakes me up and keeps me up. Gimcrack ache is a Southern thing, Suki says, but I'd never heard the expression before. It's the feeling you get when you see a bauble on somebody, a cheap necklace or a stickpin so pretty you'd do anything to steal it.”
― Kimberly King Parsons, Black Light

“It's me, it's me, it's me.”
― Kimberly King Parsons, Black Light

“Being alone never bothered me back then. I'd step out into my yard at any hour with a cold beer and a feeling like I could walk as far as I'd like and be just fine, nobody to hurt me, nobody I could use to hurt myself.”
― Kimberly King Parsons, Black Light

“It's quite possible my daughter will disagree with this version altogether. She might say that I've put words into her mouth. Show me a mother who hasn't.”
― Kimberly King Parsons, Black Light
