Quotes by Ashley Blooms (?)

“A weight grew in the air between Misty’s mother and her sisters, a weight that Misty couldn’t quite understand. So much of growing up was that way. A feeling in a room that she’d just walked into. A feeling hanging between two people that she loved. A sense of something gone slightly wrong, but when she asked, no one would tell her the truth. And that was where childhood lay, in the shadow of knowing that something was wrong but not knowing what it was or why it was or how to fix it, so she was left standing in front of her mother, her mother tired and bleeding, her mother with a ragged hole chewed through her chest, her mother saying, “It’s fine. Everything is fine.”
― Ashley Blooms, Every Bone a Prayer

“That’s why we tell stories,” Aunt Jem said. “To remind us there’s another way. A better way. We tell stories so we can find it.”

“She’d been so afraid that her friends and family would abandon her if they found out what happened in the barn that she ended up abandoning herself.”
