Kindle Notes & Highlights
Family names were not things to be dropped and replaced at whim, he thought. They marked lineage; they marked belonging.
Only he could determine the truth, because only he could communicate it to all parties.
Loss just meant a lack, meant something was missing, but it did not encompass the totality of this severance, this terrifying un-anchoring from all that he’d ever known.
He buried his past life, not because it was so terrible but because abandoning it was the only way to survive.
