Biting my tongue, already chewed off the straps to my huggy jacket…

Some days I just want to punch people in the face. Doing something of no benefit to myself (rather at a cost I can ill afford) only to have someone act all ass about it as if I am creating an inconvenience. Wow, I just don’t get where the sense and sensibility went to. Yeah [...]

Winter Garden ~ Kristin Hannah

Sad, heartbreaking, and captivating. A story within a story, the first two hundred pages were a bit maudlin, by the time I reached the midpoint I was reading at a much faster pace.
