Those silly girls had no idea what they were really celebrating. They had no idea what it took to bring Agatha and her friends together seventy-five years ago. The Women's Society Club had been about supporting one another, about banding together to protect one another because no one else would.

All her life, it seemed, she was making up for things she let happen.

Adolescence is like having only enough light to see the step directly in front of you.

When people believe you have something to give, something no one else has, they'll go to great lengths and pay a lot of money for it.
