"I felt taller, as if my whole life, I'd let fear cram me into a small box, a space so tiny I was always curled over, my shoulders hunched, my back bent. That box had seemed too strong to break through, so I hadn't tried before. But maybe, all along, the box was just flimsy cardboard, and all I had to do was stand up, punch through the top, and climb out." (p. 203)
Having Laura here this month has been inspiring. Thank you, Laura, for hanging out with readergirlz!!

Thank you for this quote, Melissa! It's my favorite of Red Glass.
And thank you, Laura! I've had so much fun getting to know you this month. I will always imagine you tip tap typing away in your little trailer.
Here's to many good words flowing through your hands. Always know you are welcome here! xox
Thank you Laura. I'm so glad that readergirlz featured your title this month, because it was one of the highlights in all of my reading so far this year. Your story will stay with me, and it will be reread in the years ahead.
All the best and keep those stories coming!
