“Like the raindrops falling outside, one by one they fill the gaps until the memories pool together and flood through me.”
Jean E. Pendziwol, The Lightkeeper's Daughters

“You know, he said, when you paint over something, everything that was there before isn't really gone. It's still there. All the layers of color, the scrapes and dents, even the bare wood hiding beneath, they shape what's painted top, inspire it even, but they don't define it. That's up to the painter.”
Jean E. Pendziwol, The Lightkeeper's Daughters

“War and death can silence the strongest of men.”
Jean E. Pendziwol, The Lightkeeper's Daughters
