A New Adventure in Wonderland
Hey Tumblr,
If you haven’t already read Meditations in Wonderland by Anna Patrick you’re 100% missing out.
As life winds down during the holidays, do yourself a favor and make this story your next literary escape.
Check out an excerpt from one of my favorite scenes here:
“Someone more compassionate and braver than me,” she said between deep exhales.
Just then, a tree branch hit her right in the chest, knocking the wind out of her. She laid flat on her back, the salt of her willing tears stinging her eyes, pricking them like the rough branches that grazed her skin. Her lungs felt empty. She took handuls of leaves and ash into her fists, as she pushed herself upright.
She had to stop running.
..if you want to read more, you’ll have to order it for yourself!
