Karen Russell Quote
She was still loping around on all fours, her fists blue-white from the strain. As if she were holding a secret tight to the ground. Sister Maria de la Guardia would sigh every time she saw her. She'd sit down with Mirabella and pry her fingers apart. You see? she'd say softly, again and again. What are you holding on to? Nothing, little one. Nothing.
