Rush (City Lights Series, #3)

by Emma Scott

Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it. —Helen Keller

I played, and everything I thought I had lost, all that music, came pouring out of me, surging over the pain and grief, not washing it away but cleansing it in salt water tears, turning it into something I would always live with, instead of that lived within me, hidden and heavy and dark.

We’re all finding a way to move on, I thought after we’d hung up. And moving on, I realized, wasn’t the same as forgetting or even letting go. It was making a tentative peace with tragedy and doing the best we could forever after.

Not good for our souls to not do what we’re meant to do.”

I felt how I feel when opening a brand-new book. Do you know how that is? Where you only need to read the first few pages and you’re already thinking, ‘This might be a good one. One of the best ones. One of the rare finds that stays with you forever.’”
