Deathless Divide (Dread Nation, #2)

by Justina Ireland

For every reader who found something worthwhile in Jane and Katherine’s story. ★ Thank you ★

Folks are, at their heart, selfish, and anything they tell you is more often than not designed to meet their own goals. I know, because I ain’t any different.

But the problem about starting a new life is you bring your old self with you.

And even if I do not understand the pain she feels right now, it does not mean I cannot support her through it. That is what friends do.

But when I am dressed and looking my best, I feel like I actually have power over something. And even the smallest feeling of security is a comfort in a brutal, unforgiving world.

He shakes his head, and I can’t help but feel that in all our time together I didn’t know him like I thought I did, not really. He doesn’t want a wife. He wants a doormat.

Sometimes the people we love fiercest leave the world like a whisper.

Not that I don’t love my momma. I do. But I don’t think I like her much as a person.
