"I think about how there are certain people who come into your life and leave a mark. The ones who are as much a part of you as your own soul. Their place in your heart is tender; a bruise of longing, a pulse of unfinished business. Just hearing their names pushes and pulls at you in a hundred ways, and when you try to define those hundred ways, describe them even to yourself, words are useless. If you had a lifetime to talk, there would still be things left unsaid."
- Sara Zarr.
Wait, Sara Zarr? How funny, because I just finished reading a book by her (the second I've read) and throughout it I kept thinking how much I thought you might enjoy it. Or at least her voice, themes, and style.
