If only the peace I feel right now could be stored up and released later when cruelty surrounds me in the dark during nightmares.
Margarita Engle Quotes
I feel the heaviness of nightmares even though I am awake. How weary I am, how sleepless and hopeless—there is no escape from the torment of wishes.

About
Writing a historical novel in verse feels like time travel, a dreamlike blend of imagination and reality. It is an exploration. It is also a chance to communicate with the future, through young readers. I love to write about young people who made hopeful choices in situations that seemed hopeless. My own hope is that tales of courage and compassion will ring true for youthful readers as they make their own difficult decisions in modern times.
