“More years than he cared to contemplate had passed since his family had discovered, to their sorrow, that not all things could be cured with cookies and kisses. The magic of such talismans had long been lost to them, lost even before the keeper of them had been.”

-Nancy Baker –  A Terrible Beauty (Penguin Books, 1996)
