Mockingbird Summer

by Lynda Rutledge

“A book, like music, is very personal. You bring yourself, your own story, to everything you read. It’s a book’s boon and bane. But it’s also its raison d’être—its reason for being—to meet you where you are. Exactly like a great piece of music.”

it’s strange how close you can feel to someone after knowing them only a short time compared to people you never get close to despite knowing them for years.
