Ann Brashares

Ann Brashares
I love you, I'll never stop.
Ann Brashares
He just wanted to look at her and know her life was marching along under the same arch of time and space as he is.
Ann Brashares
This body is breaking down, but I am not.
Ann Brashares
Grief was like a newborn, and the first three months were hard as hell, but by six months you'd recognized defeat, shifted your life around, and made room for it.
