“God reached out his finger and
lighting struck the Clairmont house.
What if
God sent it up in flames?
Thus he would punish the greedy, the petty, the prejudiced, the normal, the unkind.
They would repent of their deeds.
And after that, learn to love one another again.”

“If everyone likes you-you’re probably a liar.”

I was fairly certain because it fit too well. Maybe because this book is similiar to "the sea of tranquility" in many ways, which I read not too long ago. But where that book was perfect, other than maybe a little bit too long, this failed. Completely. ...more
