"i can’t tell if the mom is crazier or if the dad is crazier. i know this memoir came first, but i read educated by tara westover before this, and the parallels i’m seeing are insane!
i have also read the memoir “etched in sand,” which shares that unstable, abusive, childhood with the nomadic lifestyle." — Jun 08, 2026 08:03AM

"(this is from page 15): "edward ferrars was not recommended to their good opinion by any peculiar graces of person or address. he was not handsome, and his manners required intimacy to make them pleasing. he was too diffident to do justice to himself; but when his natural shyness was overcome, his behaviour gave every indication of an open, affectionate heart."

“I never found out what happened to Chele, or to any of the countless others who were with me. I fear they died in the Sonoran Desert. This book is for them and for every immigrant who has crossed, who has tried to, who is crossing right now, and who will keep trying.”

“You know what I think is better than being cool, is being happy and you seem really happy tonight Sydney. You know, when somebody criticizes you, or says something behind your back, those words that they said about you, it’s like you feel like those words are written all over your face, all over you. And then, those words start to become echoes in your own mind. And then, there’s a real risk that those words could become a part of how you see yourself. The moment that you realize that you are NOT the opinion of somebody who doesn’t know you or care about you, that moment, when you realize that, it’s like you’re Clean.”
