Kindle Notes & Highlights
There was no guarantee of safety or survival either way. But hope was a tricky thing.
Unlike Ryder, I cried all the time. I cried when Leigh made me laugh too hard. I cried when I saw my mother in pain. I cried at the end of a great book, or when I heard a beautiful harmony.
