"I've spent most of my life and most of my friendships holding my breath and hoping that when people get close enough they won't leave, and fearing that it's a matter of time before they figure me out and go."

"I wonder if I've been changed in the night. Let me think. Was I the same when I got up this morning? But if I'm not the same, the next question is, Who in the world am I? Aha, that's the great puzzle."

A few months ago, I regretted not following my impulse to pick up this book and buy it. That haunted me for months. And I couldn't find a copy of it anywhere, until finally Fully Booked found me one. Now I look forward to curling up with it this weekend. I don't think I will regret pursuing this.
