The Peculiar Fate of Holly Banks Quotes

“She suspected Primm operated a few decibels above the norm. Like an amplified electric guitar played with distortion. You liked it because power chords heightened the experience, making you feel life was being lived with higher intensity.”
― Julie Valerie, The Peculiar Fate of Holly Banks

“What is it with womanhood? Holly wondered. Motherhood, raising children? Being a sister, a daughter, loving and then helping your parents as they age? Loving a man, loving your family, loving the home you’ve built? What is it with life? Time passes as we etch and notch moments. Often, it’s the marking of significant moments—milestones like weddings and proposals—that causes us to pause and reflect. But other moments make up a life: smaller moments like letters inside a word. We should pause to consider them.”
