Fairy tale Quote by Emery Lord
““The only difference is that Dee’s natural coloring looks like an American landscape—country-sky-blue eyes and hair the color of Tennessee wheat fields, golden strands with darker undertones. My hair is nearly black, and I have jealous green eyes. In a fairy tale, she’d play the good fairy. I’d be the evil witch’s screwup second cousin. Dee””
