"Better to try all things and find all empty, than to try nothing and leave your life a blank." "I believe - I daily find it proved - that we can get nothing in this world worth keeping, not so much as a principle or a conviction, except out of purifying flame, or through strengthening peril. We err; we fall; we are humbled - then we walk more carefully. We greedily eat and drink poison out of the gilded cup of vice, or from the beggar's wallet of avarice; we are sickened, degraded; everything good in us rebels against us; our souls rise bitterly indignant against our bodies; there is a period of civil war; if the soul has strength, it conquers and rules thereafter."
One of the better contemporary fiction novels I've read in a long time. Pittard has a way of making you feel like you know all the characters and are right there in the room when awkward moments are happening. This book was as close to any I've read about the life in suburbia.
