Hidden Girls Quotes

“twilight and smells of myrrh and ash, lingering, maybe, from some recent ritual. As I walk inside, bright sunlight dims to cool shadows. My eyes water. I move into the shadows feeling like I’m plummeting through time, falling back into the Middle Ages, me, the dancer and poet, the wild child rebel who loved to laugh and longed to be on the cutting edge of everything.”
― Julia MacDonnell, Hidden Girls: A Birth Mother's Story of Reunion & Reckoning
