#FirstLineFriday '"How could I let this happen?
Thirty thousand feet in the air, I knew better than to interrogate myself like this.'
From Chapter One of The Wholehearted Way by Dr. Peace Amadi!
“The train was
rocking through
wide open country
before Elsa was able to
put off the misery of leaving
and reach out for the freedom
and release that were hers now.”
~Wallace Stegner, The Big Rock Candy Mountain
