Loved these quotes: “You can’t choose the day or time when you will fully bloom. It happens on its own time when you least expect it. “Whenever there’s a loss, there’s bound to be a gain somewhere else. You just have to know where to look for it.”
"Queenie pointed a finger at Ibby. "Rule Number One in this house. Don't ever go asking Miss Fannie about her past. Rule Number Two. She starts talking about her past, let her talk but don't go asking questions. Rule Number Three. You see her hand start twitching, you better change the subject. Rule Number Four. You got something you want to know, you come ask one of us. But don't never let on to Miss Fannie that I said nothing. That's Rule Number Six."
"That's Rule Number Five, Mama. There ain't no number six," Doll said.
"Doll, shut your mouth. Miss Ibby knows what I'm getting at."
Doll rolled her eyes. "Maybe Rule Number Six should be don't argue with Mama."
"That's an unwritten rule. Don't need a number."
