Betty Smith Quote
There are two truths, said Katie finally. As a mother, I say it would have been a terrible thing for a girl to sleep with a stranger--a man she had known less than forty-eight hours. Horrible things might have happened to you. Your whole life might have been ruined. As your mother, I tell you the truth. But as a woman... she hesitated. I will tell you the truth as a woman. It would have been a very beautiful thing. Because there is only once that you love that way.
