"After she was gone there would be no one who knew the whole of her life. She did not even know the whole of it!

It is all a journey, Miss Jewell. I have come to understand that that is what life is all about-a journey and the courage and energy always to take the next step and the next without judgement about what was right and what was wrong.”
