Nicole  Morris
“So, everything that’s happened, that’s just the way life is, and it’s never going to be the way you think you want it. I’m not embarrassed about my brother, but I just don’t want to relive it, because people ask, “Oh, where’s your brother, what’s he doing?” and I have to say I don’t know, I haven’t seen him in over 30 years.”
Nicole Morris, Vanished: True Stories from Families of Australian Missing Persons

Shari J. Ryan
“He’s speaking nonsense, and his portrayal of my life—my past—is something he has conjured up like a fairy tale. The life he dreams of is one I’ve run away from. Only a stupid man would run toward the shadows of my past, and he’s anything but senseless.”
Shari J. Ryan, The Maid's Secret
