Quote by A.L. Buehrer

“It might be true that no man is an island," she said, "but you know those peninsulas that are just connected by a really thin neck of land--a sandbar, even? And sometimes, when the tide is high, they get cut off, almost completely. I wouldn't say that there weren't people like that.”

“Sitting down on a crate, Helen felt them, felt the vibrancy they had left behind like twilight after the sun is gone. She tried to picture their faces, their voices, but the details already blurred.

Turning her eyes to the ocean, Helen thought of all those boatloads of children on the water, needing somewhere warm and safe, and yet the ocean hadn’t listened to her plea. Everything she’d asked the universe had been ignored, snubbed. As she watched the waves, she tried to find peace in their steady heartbeat, but none came. The only thing she felt was betrayed. Betrayed and so utterly lonely.”
