The Drummond Girls Quotes

“On a Sunday morning in October 1993, sitting outside on Frank's wobbly picnic table, under an endlessly clear sky and within sight of the million-dollar view we'd paid fifty-five dollars for, it was decided. The four of us would come back to Drummond Island together every year on the first weekend in October unless we were either pregnant or dead.
Of all the possibilities fate might decide to heave in our direction, those were the only two we could imagine keeping us away.”

“Mothers who hand sewed kids' clothes, who read used Jane Austen paperbacks and stenciled checkerboards and hearts onto their kitchen cupboards, did not go away on weekend benders. Not according to my husband they didn't.
"This one does," I told him, tossing long underwear, a disposable camera, and a Led Zeppelin cassette tape into a denim duffel bag.”
