"Trying to come back from the dead after a book wrecked me back in March. Let's see if this heavy dose of nostalgia resurrects me or not." — Jul 05, 2023 12:03AM

"Casts Long Shadows" review: 5 stars. A story about Matthew Fairchild riddled with cameos from the children of my favorite literary characters? With tortured tragedy? Pssshhh as if this could be anything but a favorite of mine. I've also apparently gone out of order because my library had only one story from the middle available before I requested the whole EXTEMELY LONG book." — Jan 10, 2023 01:44PM

Jesus Mary and Joseph. This book deals with cancer and chemotherapy, so if that's a trigger for you, beware.This is easily the saddest book in the series. Actually, not easily. There's definitely a competition between this one and The Baby. They're b ...more "
“I choose to believe that I owe my very
life to you--ay--smile, and think it an exaggeration if you will.
I believe it, because it adds a value to that life to think--oh,
Miss Hale!' continued he, lowering his voice to such a tender
intensity of passion that she shivered and trembled before him,
'to think circumstance so wrought, that whenever I exult in
existence henceforward, I may say to myself, "All this gladness
in life, all honest pride in doing my work in the world, all this
keen sense of being, I owe to her!" And it doubles the gladness,
it makes the pride glow, it sharpens the sense of existence till
I hardly know if it is pain or pleasure, to think that I owe it
to one--nay, you must, you shall hear'--said he, stepping
forwards with stern determination--'to one whom I love, as I do
not believe man ever loved woman before.' He held her hand tight
in his. He panted as he listened for what should come. ”
