Sneak peeks of the Book:

“You can’t go back to how things were. How you thought they were. All you have is now.”

“You can’t rewrite the past.”

“I guess that’s the point of it all. No one knows for certain how much impact they have on the lives of other people. Oftentimes, we have no clue. Yet we push it just the same.”

“You can hear rumors but you can’t know them.”

“When you mess with one part of a person's life, you're not messing with just that part. You're messing with their entire life.”
