““When I went back to look for it again I could never find it. It was as if someone had put some kind of glamour, some kind of spell, on that ground, and I felt as if I was walking in circles around it again and again, never able to see what was in front of my eyes. That was how I felt about what happened to me when I turned thirteen. I felt as if I was always circling around my own brain trying to understand.””
