I am getting very tired of being made the villain by the very people I’ve held my hand out to and broken my back for. If you want to see the bad guy- look in the mirror!
@MimosaVendetta@LKHamilton Read it for joy now. There’s so much depth in that book that I think is missed when it’s read as a teen. I read it again as an adult- and found so much more.

@nursekelsey Watching my son wheel & deal at the car lot... and walk away from a bad deal. My boy is turning into a smart young man, and I had a proud mama moment!
