Status Updates From Hester

She cheats on her dead beat husband with a dead beat man 🤦🏻‍♀️

“Why do men bind themselves to a flag and a nation when women bind themselves to passion and love? Why do men fixate on the past when every woman I have ever known is trying to remedy the present while she builds hope for what is to come?”

"They say witch, but what do they mean?" Mercy muses. "Witch is a reason to kill you; witch might be someone to heal you; witch can be the Devil, or witch can be a woman so beautiful she makes you lose your sense. They've got so many ways of calling you a witch, they just change it to how it suits them."

“Am I a witch? And if I am, what am I to do with a power I do not understand? And if I do not understand it, how can I keep from revealing it to others? How can I know that it will not harm or betray me, that it Will not call into being things I do not want? And what of what I do want? What of that?”

I’m not feeling with the main character, hopefully it gets better.
