Kindle Notes & Highlights
“Stories let us see and hear and feel what someone else does,” she explained. “They build bridges to the other islands. That’s why stories are so important. They create true empathy.”
I don’t hate Christmas anymore, for obvious reasons. I always get a little thrill when that time of year arrives, and everyone starts decorating and hustling and bustling around, getting ready to enjoy not just the holiday but one another. Because that’s what it’s all about, right? Connection. Togetherness. Love.
Mr. Dickens. You’re one of the Ghosts, now, but even so, you continue to inspire me, not only as a writer, but as a writer who tried to make a real difference in this troubled world. You wanted people to see as Scrooge saw, so that they might change as Scrooge changed. I love you for that. And I hope my story can haunt my readers half so pleasantly as yours.
