The Shade of My Own Tree Quotes

“The human spirit is tremendously resilient. It can withstand the most horrific of circumstances, whether of human or divine creation... It is not these larger-than-life situations that beat us. It's the little things.”
― Sheila Williams, The Shade of My Own Tree: A Novel

“It's like having a chronic health condition that you control with medication. The condition will always be there and you take your pill, but you can't make a life around it. You can't be defined as a person because of it. You can't limit your dreams because of it. You accept it and go on. Life is too short to do otherwise.”
― Sheila Williams, The Shade of My Own Tree: A Novel
