“In my life I've had good days and bad days. Miserable days. Painful days. And no matter how bad the bad ones get, there's a mercy in them. Every single one of them ends.”
Jael McHenry, The Kitchen Daughter

“There is no normal. There's only what's right for you and being honest.”
Jael McHenry, The Kitchen Daughter

“Panic, panic, can't panic. Think of food. Think of sugar. I am a sugar cube in cold water. I won't dissolve. Precise edges. Made up of tiny, regular, secure parts. If the water were hotter I would worry, but it's cold. I stay together. Precise. Clean. Surrounded, but whole.”
Jael McHenry, The Kitchen Daughter
