Some of us laugh
Some of us cry
Some of us smoke
Some of us lie
But it's all just the way
that we cope with our lives...
As Simple As Snow - Gregory Galloway
Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before. ~ Edgar Allan Poe
HA!.. have you read As Simple As Snow?
I know it's YA fiction and meant mostly for teenage girls, I assume so anyways, but my youngest niece said that since I keep on recommending books for her to read, that turnabout was fair play and she wanted me to read ASAS... so I did, thinking it was going to be an awful slog. But damn it, I loved it! One of the best "coming of age" stories ever. A true mystery that has an open-ended conclusion, that the reader must figure out on their own.
