Among the Flames Quotes

“At first, my mother’s insanity was like a spark; an undesirable light that sprang out of thin air and sucked the oxygen from the room. And just as quickly as the inferno began, it vanished into the shadowed corners of reality leaving me gasping for breath and cloaked in darkness, unable to discern which side of her was real.”
― Lya Lively, Among the Flames

“I think that's when I realized we were all stars... Seen, not heard. Feeling, not felt. There, then in an instant, gone.”
― Lya Lively, Among the Flames
