Quotes from the same author
Cassandra's grandmother smiled then, only it wasn't a happy smile. Cassandra thought she knew how it felt to smile like that. She often did so herself when her mother promised her something she really wanted but knew might not happen.
Kate Morton

Was it always this way? Did those with passage booked on death's silent ship always scan the dock for faces of the long-departed?
Kate Morton
...She's understood the power of stories. Their magical ability to refill the wounded part of people.
