"When the dawn light is coursing through the slats in the shutters at last, making thin stripes on the floor, she, tossing, decides that for every human soul there must surely be a possible childhood worth living, but once it slips by, there isnâ€™t any reclaiming it or revising it."

-- Gregory Maguire
