“A woman made of parts is a dangerous thing. You never know when she'll throw away a piece you may need.”
Heidi W. Durrow, The Girl Who Fell from the Sky

“If there’s no one else to tell another side - the only story that can be told is the story that becomes true. (p. 173)”
Heidi W. Durrow, The Girl Who Fell from the Sky

“The bottle is where everything sad or mean or confusing can go. And the blues--it's like that bottle. But in the bottle there's a seed that you let grow. Even in the bottle it can grow big and green. It's full of all those feelings that are in there, but beautiful and growing too.”
Heidi W. Durrow, The Girl Who Fell from the Sky
