“Small pleasures. Don't ever dismiss them, Ellen thinks. Tastes, smells, the feel of things, the sounds of birds, music. And talk. Small conversations with people you like. A good book.”
Kathleen George, The Johnstown Girls

“The Pirates lost their game, 8–2. Ryan Graves looked like any other pitcher, intense, a small player in a big world, Orestes, all of them. Now,”
Kathleen George, Taken
