"I have put my faith in books . . . The joy and satisfaction I take from them (from reading them, writing them, buying them, owning them) never diminishes and, unlike most things, is never diluted by repetition."
~Diane Schoemperlen, from Our Lady of the Lost and Found
"The reader may ask how to tell fact from fiction. A rough guide: anything that seems particularly unlikely is probably true."
~ Hilary Mantel, from A Place of Greater Safety

The Lost Girls
by Laurie Fox
" . . . the moment we are born appears to be the very same moment we forget we are loved. Now isn't that awkward? Shouldn't the two things dovetail, love and memory? Shouldn't a feeling that powerful be carved on a tree so no one can ignore its message? To come so far to be in this world only to forget something all - important -- what kind of journey is that? I'll bet that 90 percent of the love that surrounds us is dismissed or discounted -- the cup of tea a friend makes, the letter from a faraway auntie. The fact that no one feels loved ~enough~ merely proves my point" (43).
