Chantal Aurora’s Notes & Highlights

Book cover for Forsaken (Daughters of the Sea, #1)

Forsaken (Daughters of the Sea, #1) by Kristen Day

4 notes & 17 highlights

“Why do I have to have the sister who’s crazy?”

Ugh ableism

“Look for me under your boot soles.” Olga’s body will turn to dirt, which will grow into trees, and then someone in the future will step on their fallen leaves. There is no heaven. There is only earth, sky, and the transfer of energy. The idea would almost be beautiful if this weren’t such a nightmare.”
― Erika L. Sánchez, I Am Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter

“I look at Connor, and a wave of sadness washes over me. I miss him, even though he’s sitting right in front of me. It’s hard to explain, but it reminds me of a haiku I once read: 'Even in Kyoto—/ hearing the cuckoo’s cry—/ I long for Kyoto.' I feel like that a lot. I get nostalgic before I have to.”

“I would also like to acknowledge all the immigrants who have risked their lives to come to this country, and the children of those immigrants. You are what make America great.”

“I’m afraid to tell him exactly how I feel - how one second I’m okay and the next I’m sad for no good reason. I don’t want to scare him away.”
― Erika L. Sánchez, I Am Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter

“And in fact, I am a foreigner everywhere in the world: as soon as I leave my home, I step into a void.”
