“Maybe the definition of home is the place where you are never forgiven. So you may always belong there, bound by guilt. And maybe the cost of belonging is worth it.”

Work
Wicked
Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West is a novel by Gregory Maguire that offers a revisionist take on L. Frank Baum's classic Oz stories. The book centers on Elphaba, a green-skinned, intelligent, and misunderstood woman who grows up to become the so-called Wicked Witch. Through her story, the narrative examines the nature of evil, the manipulation of public perception, and the complexities of morality in a fantastical yet politically charged world. The novel is known for its dark, adult-oriented themes and served as the basis for the popular Broadway musical of the same name. more
