Crypt of the Moon Spider (Lunar Gothic Trilogy, #1)

“I didn’t used to be this way. I was happy when I was a child. I had such grand ideas about how life would be. What happened to me? What happened to us?” “We grew up.”

“How could I ever become a burden to them? That doesn’t make any sense.” “When what you need outweighs what you offer. Make no mistake, child. Your life does not belong to you.”
