Joan Frances Casey Quote
I don't expect to have a fully verified story of how Jo's disorder developed, but I don't think that historical accuracy is as important as what I call emotional truth. People attach different levels of significance to the same events. No two participants in any event remember it in exactly the same way. A single broken promise, for example, among thousands of promises kept, might not be remembered by a parent, but may never be forgotten by the child who was disappointed. (34)
