Status Updates From Sam

Oh my gosh now we're getting Mrs. Martinez's back story. Real tears.

“She had no quit in her.” This guy is giving me new perspectives on Anne Shirley. I’m adding it to my long list of rereads.

Whoever hires these power tripping goons to work with kids needs to be shaken by the shoulders until there’s room for sense.

Insert rant about the criminal justice system here.

“And upstairs in the east gable, a lonely, heart-hungry, friendless child cried herself to sleep.”
To my utter shock I burst into tears. The same way I had last night when I’d read that line to myself at bedtime.

This was happening. This was real. This was terrible.

🥺

Oh, I wish they'll stick with the cover without the hoodie on... It captures Sam's innocence much better.
