“I've never hated you, Jess. Never. I've been angry with you. I've been bewildered by you. There've been times I've wanted to scream with frustration at you. But I've never hated you. You're my sister and I love you. I love you even when you're acting in ways I don't understand, even when I don't see you for years. I never stopped loving you." (p. 343)”

“We feel like we are always saying the wrong things and that people are always getting upset about that. But I do not think people become upset just because we say the wrong things.

“Once upon a time Audrey had believed that her life was set of a clear path and that any diversion led to a complete derailment. Only now did she realize that those moments of change were not an ending but a beginning: a chance for a different kind of life, a different kind of journey, a different form of happiness" (p. 348)”
