These Cold Strangers Quotes

“An interesting word, hero. When I was a child, I was taught that heroes wore uniforms. They were a safe place, always. If you were lost. If you needed help. People—strangers—who will die for your freedom. As I grew older, I realized they aren’t the only ones. A young mother who works three jobs so her children will have shelter. The widowed father who learns to braid his daughter’s hair. The women who survive abuse at the hands of a predator. Heroes come in many guises.”
― J.T. Ellison, These Cold Strangers

― J.T. Ellison, These Cold Strangers

“We all think we’ll like the romantic small-town life until we’re stuck in it,”
― J.T. Ellison, These Cold Strangers
