“You always have choices, Brianna. No one can take that from you. You're the only one who can decide how this ends.”

“Any change, any loss, does not make us victims. Others can shake you, surprise you, disappoint you, but they can't prevent you from acting, from taking the situation you're presented with and moving on. No matter where you are in life, no matter what your situation, you can always do something. You always have a choice and the choice can be power.”

“There are some choices you can only make once. You can't go back to where you made a choice and then take the other one.”

“Ending a series is a difficult one .......where should a story that you have followed for so long end? When do you step away from the characters and let the readers decide their fate from there? When they can stand on their own is my only answer for that.”

“It only takes one mistake and nothing else you ever do will matter. No matter how hard you work or how smart you become, you'll always be known for that one poor choice.”

“Who you are and what you believe in is your real home, the only home no one can take from you, the only home that will last.”
