She looked like she was daring the world to hurt her. Della Lee's bedroom at the end of the hall looked like something out of Josey's teenage dreams. Back then Josey had politely asked her mother if she could hang a poster or two, if she could have some colorful curtains or a bedspread with hearts on it. Her mother had responded with disappointment. Why would Josey ask for something else, as if what she had wasn't good enough? The heavy oak bed, the antique desk and the sueded chaise in Josey's room were all Very Nice Things. Josey obviously did not appreciate Very Nice Things. The walls in Della Lee's room were painted purple and there were sheet lavender curtains on the single window. A poster of a white Himalayan cat was taped on one wall, along with some pages torn out of fashion magazines. There was a white mirrored dresser that had makeup tubes and bottles littered across the surface. Some tote bags with names of cosmetic companies, like department store gifts with purchase, were stashed in the corner near the dresser.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Sarah Addison Allen" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/sarah-addison-allen/there-were-crooked-photos-on-the-wall-of-della-lee-as-a-child-with/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/441/sarah-addison-allen-810_bedrooms_there-were-crooked-photos-on-the-wall-of_737102.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/441/sarah-addison-allen-810_bedrooms_there-were-crooked-photos-on-the-wall-of_737102.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/441/sarah-addison-allen-810_bedrooms_there-were-crooked-photos-on-the-wall-of_737102.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“There were crooked photos on the wall of Della Lee as a child, with dark hair and eyes.

She'd come out of the womb an individual, refusing to be defined by anyone. She didn't even look like anyone on either side of their families. Matt's family was so proud of their dark hair, a blue-black that had been the envy of generations, the way it caught the sun like a spiderweb. From Kate's own side of the family, there was a gene that made their eyes so green that they could trick people into thinking that even the most unattractive Morris woman was pretty. And yet here was Devin, with fine cotton-yellow hair and light blue eyes, the left of which was a lazy eye. She'd had to wear an eye patch when she was three. And she'd loved it. She loved her knotted yellow hair. She loved wearing stripes with polka dots, and tutus, and pink and green socks with orange patent-leather shoes. Devin could care less what other people thought about her.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Sarah Addison Allen" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/sarah-addison-allen/devin-was-the-most-gorgeous-unique-creature-kate-had-ever-known-she-d/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/fd4/sarah-addison-allen-810_dark-hair_devin-was-the-most-gorgeous-unique-creat_3223025.png", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/fd4/sarah-addison-allen-810_dark-hair_devin-was-the-most-gorgeous-unique-creat_3223025.png", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/fd4/sarah-addison-allen-810_dark-hair_devin-was-the-most-gorgeous-unique-creat_3223025.png", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“Devin was the most gorgeous, unique creature Kate had ever known.
