The Lady's Guide to Petticoats and Piracy (Montague Siblings, #2)

by Mackenzi Lee

I hope you live a life you’re proud of. I really do. I hope someday we can sit down again over cider and pastries, and you can tell me your story and I can tell you mine and we will both burst like overripe fruit with pride in ourselves, and each other. I couldn’t be a baker’s wife, but someone will, and you’ll be good to her, and happy together, and as much as this new life is mine, that will be hers. I’m learning there is no one way for life to be lived, no one way to be strong or brave or kind or good. Rather there are many people doing the best they can with the heart they are given and the hand they are dealt. Our best is all we can do, and all we can hold on to is each other.
