Mary Alice Monroe Quote
See so many things in you, Anne Marie, she said softly, tilting her head as she continued her perusal. The way you move your head a certain way, the breathiness of your voice, the manner in which you hold your shoulders back when you walk. They say there are blood ties in every family and I believe it. I’d like to tell you everything there is to know about me and my family—your family. Not to detract from the family that you already have, but to add to it.
