Unfurl (Alchemy, #1)

by Elodie Hart

All I know is that, when I’m a parent, I will never, ever dress up an opinion as a fact in front of my children. Encouraging them to think for themselves, to treat every perception as something about which they have the right to form their own opinions, will be the greatest gift I’ll ever give them.

That’s what alchemy really is, he told me once. The art of transformation. My skin sings. My heart opens. And I unfurl in his arms like a flower.
