“One reason tragedy exists is to teach us how to help others, help others learn how to find a way through their own dark time, through a journey of growth.”
Philip Fracassi, Boys In the Valley

“You don’t wash with another man’s blood and expect to get clean.”
Philip Fracassi, Shiloh

“At this point, panic has taken off its coat, kicked off its shoes, pulled up a seat, smiled that maniacal smile, the one showing too many bright white teeth, to let you know it really likes it here, and it’s decided to stay a while.”
Philip Fracassi, Child Alone with Strangers
