Just Out of Jupiter's Reach (The Far Reaches, #5)

by Nnedi Okorafor

So they saw the money, but at the same time, it was hard for them to see me as important.

Some people are blinded and only see what they want to see, which is the surface, they sometimes will not do the work and look beneath

And my time alone had been a journey of breaking and then healing . . . all alone.

Nobody will come to save us, we have to save ourselves. Life is a cycle and we must work through all aspects and phases. Low and high points, like bones we break and heal.
