Alice Hoffman
Hearts were made for being broken. There's really no way around it if you want to be a human being.
Alice Hoffman
Never look at other people's bad fortune,' my mother said. 'If you do, it will come back to find you instead of its rightful owner.
Alice Hoffman
It was as though I had one map inside my head and it led to the man who was waiting for me. Someone who was alone - maybe even more alone - than I was.
