Quotes by Anita Waller (?)

“Sometimes you put walls up not to keep people out, but to see who cares enough to break them down.”
― Anita Waller, Liars

“movement left in him. Janette was sobbing as she extricated herself from the motionless body on top of her, and she ran for the stairs, naked, trembling and crying. The pain between her legs was almost unbearable and she began to run a bath after locking the bathroom door behind”
― Anita Waller, The Family at No. 12

“someone else?’ Shock passed across her face. ‘Good Lord, no. If anything, I would say we’re closer now than ever. Were closer,’ she corrected herself, and reached for another tissue. ‘He had no skeletons in cupboards that”
― Anita Waller, The Connection Trilogy: Blood Red, Code Blue, and Mortal Green

This is Gita Audhya. I am now campaigning now for my book All Those Tears We Can't See, 3rd edition to all social media. My book is selling in all major airports (Hudson Bookseller) but being an indie writer it is very hard, but I am proud of it. It has romance in Western style and Eastern style, immigrant story, American dream, and 1st generation forbidden love, culture, and India. Love to read, then maybe you will like it.
