'Life isn’t just about ‘you’, singular.  Its about ‘you’, plural.  About all the different people you are, and all the different aspects of yourself.

'Lily smiled.  It was quite a pretty concept, really.

'The universe has rarely had Lily’s back, it is a shifting thing.  No longer does she have her friend, or her family.  Her mother more preoccupied with her own life, and her best friend missing, Lily is completely alone.'

'“Mother, you have to hire a nurse, you can’t even manage to open a door anymore,” were Fred’s first words as he stepped through the door. His tone was sharp, and direct; and she really did not like it.

'Sometimes people become swept into a routine for so long that they lose all hope of an adventure. That is what has happened to Rose. A woman in her late sixties, her husband dead, and her children drifting, Rose has finally begun to tiptoe on the brink of possibility. A push, and the world will open its doors for her.'
