The Confession Club (Mason, #3)

by Elizabeth Berg

the adults sometimes talk about whether the charm they’ve found here can last, whether small towns can continue to retain their character, their kindness and basic sense of decency. They agree that it has something to do with the smallness of the population. It’s harder to be horrible to someone you see every day.

It’s like some of us create our own prisons for ourselves, we fall into ways of being that we feel we can’t change.

Go about your business in the best way you know how, and love will find you. You know what they say: It’s like a butterfly—you do better letting it land on you than trying to capture it.”
