Quotes by Gladys Malvern  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Life - hers and her family's - had become like a constantly twisting road and you never knew what fresh horrors might confront you around every bend; a road full of ruts and jolts. And sometimes you said you couldn't take any more jolts - but somehow you did. You took what came, and you took it with a stamina that you never imagined you possessed; but always you were tense, apprehensive, scared - wondering what was coming next.”
― Gladys Malvern, Patriot's Daughter: The Story of Anastasia Lafayette for teen-age girls
