More quotes by Janet Fitch
I felt like an undeveloped photograph that he was printing, my image rising to the surface under his gaze.

I would always know what time it was in California.
Janet Fitch

Who was I, really? I was the sole occupant of my mother's totalitarian state, my own personal history rewritten to fit the story she was telling that day. There were so many missing pieces. I was starting to find some of them, working my way upriver, collecting a secret cache of broken memories in a shoebox.
Janet Fitch
