Books Quote by Cristiana Di Palma
““I do not remember if it was the smell of the land, of the haystacks outside the barn, or the warm breath that the horse exhaled on my t-shirt, but there was one moment when I finally felt at home. It happened at Louise’s farm, called Infinity Farms, an isolated place a few miles south of Stoneville. A miniscule dot on the map of Oklahoma’s desolate land. "Oklahoma", from Red Juntion Book””
