Quotes by Nicole Lesperance (?)

“Tucked in my bag is another book from the shelf above my desk. Blue and cloth-bound, it's full of stories that I wrote myself. Stories from my childhood on Svalbard. These stories are nonfiction. They're pieces of my heart made of paper and ink.”
― Nicole Lesperance, The Wide Starlight

“Once upon a time, in a little green house at the top of the world, there lived a girl who knew that stories didn't stay in their books. She discovered that other people didn't know this, didn't want to know this, and so she hid the things she found. Now the girl was a mother, and she had her very own daughter; a clever, sweet creature who filled her life with color and beauty. And the mother began to show her child the secrets that no one else saw.”
― Nicole Lesperance, The Wide Starlight
