Kate Morton
Hope's one thing, expectation's quite another.
Kate Morton
But in my humble opinion, a house needs a good party once in a while remind folks it exists.

That no matter how far she walked, how carefully she searched, how much she wanted to find the person she was looking for, she was alone - The Forgotten Garden
Kate Morton

Kate Morton
A twinge at the edge of her lips and she continued, the soft, slow lilt of recitation: Ancient walls that sing the distant hours.
Kate Morton
In real life turning points are sneaky. They pass by unlabeled and unheeded. Opportunities are missed, catastrophes unwittingly celebrated. Turning points are only uncovered later, by historians who seek to bring order to a lifetime of tangled moments.
Kate Morton
She either confused me with a much older child or else she glimpsed deep inside my soul and perceived a hole that needed filling. I've always chosen to believe the latter. After all, it's the librarian's one sworn purpose to bring books together with their one true reader.
Kate Morton
Reluctance to begin is quick to befriend procrastination. . . .
Kate Morton
Mother didn't understand that children aren't frightened by stories that their lives are full of far more frightening things than those contained in fairy tales.
Kate Morton
There's a market for mysteries for adults. That feeling of opening a book and delving inside and not coming out until you've closed the book.
Kate Morton
But everyone's an expert with the virtue of hindsight . . . .
