Quotes by Kate Sweeney  (?)

“Sticks and stones may break your bones, but I will surely kill you.”
Kate Sweeney, Away From the Dawn

“You can only understand how someone else needs to handle death in the given, specific moment. There are few hard and fast rules. I understand both my father and my friend. Or rather, I understand neither and so allow both the dispensation the ignorant should grant the wise.”
Kate Sweeney, American Afterlife: Encounters in the Customs of Mourning

“You mean it fell out while I was sleeping on the couch?” She looked at Rose. “What did you do with it?” “Well, like you’re supposed to. We put it under your pillow, and the Tooth Fairy will, you know, do her thing.” “What if the Tooth Fairy is a guy?” Neil asked thoughtfully. “Finish your dinner.” “What do you think I’ll get?” “At least a quarter,” Neil said, glancing at Rose. “That’s it? Debbie got a dollar.” “Must have been a gold filling,” Rose said.”
Kate Sweeney, Rose's Thorne
