Kindle Notes & Highlights
“That’s the whole point of being a kid. You believe things before the world proves you wrong.”
What broke your heart so completely that its splinters found their way through generations?
It was a funny thing that people warned of the dangers of pretty women, that there was power in beauty. But Orquídea thought beautiful men were even more dangerous. Men were already born with power. Why did they need more?
“We’re millennials. We’re desensitized and have no shame.”
How do you fight a thing that believes it owns you? How do you fight the past? With gold leaves and salt? With silence? With new earth beneath your feet? With the bodies, the hearts of others? With hearts that are tender and bloodied but have thorns of their own. With the family that chooses you.
