" Even as a small child, I understood that woman had secrets, and that some of these were only to be told to daughters. In this way we were bound together for eternity. —Alice Hoffman, The Dovekeepers “What must I do, Mother, what must I do to make a different world for her? How do I start?” “The secret lies in the reading and the writing. You are able to read. Every day you must read one page from some good book to your child. Every day this must be until the child learns to read. Then she must read every day, I know this is the secret.” —Betty Smith, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn "
― Ellery Adams , The Vanishing Type (Secret, Book, & Scone Society, #5)
