Bad thing Quote by Karen Dionne
““Until my mother's abduction, the children of Luce County weren't kept under lock and key. Possibly not even after, because old habits die hard, and because no one ever really things that bad things are going to happen to them. Especially after they've already happened to somebody else.””
