Saving Five: A Memoir of Hope

by Amanda Nguyen

“The worst thing that happened to us doesn’t have to define this place. You can take it back. You get to decide what this place, and these people, will mean,”

If you do not find justice in this life, make it. If the rules are shit, rewrite them.

Your rage is like so many women’s: calm on the outside, a hurricane within.”

‘You can’t save someone who doesn’t want to be saved.’”

Sadness is a lighthouse that guides you in the storm to tell you about the love you have for what and who truly matter to you.
