All American Girl Quotes

“We're almost there, Pop," he said. "A few more blocks."
I want to tell you that we, too, are almost there,

for someone has mapped this autumn field with meaning, and any day
October brooding in me, will open to reveal

our names—inscribed or absent —
among the dry thistles and spent weeds.”
― Robin Becker, All American Girl

“I’ve expanded like the swollen door in summer
to fit my own dimension.”
― Robin Becker, All American Girl
