"Your mother died to save you. If there is one thing Voldemort cannot understand, it is love. Love as powerful as your mother's for you leaves it's own mark. To have been loved so deeply, even though the person who loved us is gone, will give us some protection forever."

We are shaped by absence. The places that escape our travels, the things we choose not to do, the people we've lost. They are the spaces in the trellis on which we trail from season to season.

"You only get one life. It's actually your duty to live it as fully as possible."

I'm so anxious to read this book. it deals with such a sad issue which has had a big impact on my life and my family's. I'm not sure I can handle it.

You. You're a tonic. They should prescribe you for depression instead of pills.

Still have to read Half Lost and Half Wild. have you read it? did you like it? let me know.

An enjoyable YA book if you're in the mood for it. 3 stars.
