The visceral nature of grief and grace

(I’m not sure what sort of “content warning” to preface this with, other than it’s about death and dying.) When Shawn’s pulse spiked and I called 911, my immediate internal reaction was, “Don’t you f’ing dare.” So many wonderful things had been blossoming in our lives that the idea of it being yanked from us was too unfair.

This is an absolutely brilliant book. It’s as intelligent and nuanced as its title, which references not only the “Black and White” of race relations and the “black and white” of the cop cars, but how the false dichotomies of rigid “black and white” ...more

I *really* enjoyed this. I've like the author's work for a while, and she keeps getting better. The character development in this story is *wonderful*. A lot of times, parental figures are shown as 2-dimensional foils for the protagonist, but here, Q ...more

Quotes by Rachel S. Heslin  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“One thing I want to make clear: I don’t think our old maps are bad. They deserve to be honored for their intent to help guide us safely through life. This is one of the reasons why, when we try to "push through" resistance, it seems to get even harder to move forward. After all, if you were trying to save someone by keeping them from running out into a dangerous situation, and they were pulling against you, you'd try to hold tighter, wouldn't you?”
Rachel S. Heslin, The Map of Your Life

“Just as the acorn contains the mighty oak tree, the Self has everything it needs to fulfill its destiny. When the inner conditions are right, it naturally emerges.”
Derek Rydall, Emergence: The End of Self Improvement

“When you reach for the stars, you are reaching for the farthest thing out there. When you reach deep into yourself, it is the same thing, but in the opposite direction. If you reach in both directions, you will have spanned the universe.”
Vera Nazarian, The Perpetual Calendar of Inspiration

“Patience is not passive waiting. Patience is active acceptance of the process required to attain your goals and dreams.”
Ray A. Davis

“Are you aware that rushing toward a goal is a sublimated death wish? It's no coincidence we call them 'deadlines.”
Tom Robbins, Half Asleep in Frog Pajamas

“But yield who will to their separation,
My object in living is to unite
My avocation and my vocation
As my two eyes make one in sight.”
Robert Frost
