I love books and movies inspired by real people based on true stories, where people help each other and overcome things. Humans are complex and full of paradoxes. And from the spirit of those ideas and the unique clarity that comes from truth in hindsight, I looked back on my experiences and all the beautiful people I knew during my early twenties and I missed them, so I brought them back to life again in a book.

“Honesty is not an easy thing. But she had come to learn where there is honesty, there is trust, and where there is trust, there is safety.”
D.S. Marquis, Of School and Women

“So inside herself, so in touch with each gust of wind, the elements and the earth, and some rhythmic force in motion, calling her into the night, to search, that when something inside her shifted under the altar of it all, it was in that moment a drifting seed of a sunder planted itself. And Lynette embraced the chaos it would bring.”
D.S. Marquis, Of School and Women

“Sometimes life happens so fast, it feels like a blip on a tv screen. You know something was there, but you don't know what it was.”
D.S. Marquis, Of School and Women

“Honesty is not an easy thing. But she had come to learn where there is honesty, there is trust, and where there is trust, there is safety.”
D.S. Marquis, Of School and Women

“A well-written letter can change the world, it can start or stop a war, secure employment, save money, even save a life, her professor had said. Writing is reading, you’re making something else for someone to read.”
D.S. Marquis

“True friendship feels like gypsies dancing.”
D.S. Marquis, Of School and Women

“Sometimes life happens so fast, it feels like a blip on a tv screen. You know something was there, but you don't know what it was.”
