“So much of our lives depend on just one move, one way or the other. If I'd turned left instead of right that day...”
Lesley Crewe, The Spoon Stealer

“So often there are crossroads in your life, when things can go right or horribly wrong. We never know when something we say or do will turn a person's life around.”
Lesley Crewe, Amazing Grace

“You take all this for granted. You do it every day of your life, eating with your loved ones around you, but you hardly ever stop to think about what a gift it is. How fortunate we are to have this quiet time at the end of the day.”
Lesley Crewe, Amazing Grace
