The Last Train to Key West (The Perez Family, #3)

by Chanel Cleeton

Life happens whether you’re worrying about it or not, and it seems presumptuous to think we have much of a say in how things play out.

These are difficult times, and when you’re at your lowest, fear and uncertainty have a nasty habit of making you close ranks and view outsiders with suspicion, even if you’re cutting off your nose to spite your face.

“The day we stop fighting for others is the day we might as well pack it all up and go home.”

Men do utterly absurd things when women are involved.” “Perhaps men do utterly absurd things on their own and merely like to use women as a convenient excuse for their foolishness.

there’s no such thing as a ‘right time’ in life. Things happen when they need to happen. The rest sort of falls into place.”

It’s difficult to appreciate how bad a storm can be if you haven’t experienced one for yourself. It’s like revolution—on the surface, it seems scary, but only those who have lived through it fully comprehend its true horrors.

There’s so much broken around us; maybe all we can do is try to fix each other, do what we can to preserve these precious moments in a world where there is so much sadness and loss.
