There’s so much in this memoir that I’m thinking about even days after reading it. It’s about growing up and the expectations and limitations of girls in society:

Beware of flying for they will call you a witch and a bitch. They will use the straw from your broom as kindling for the fire they will build to burn you alive.

There once was a girl named Amelia Earhart. They asked her about her favorite recipe, and what dress she was wearing. Then when her plane was lost, they said it proved their point. Her tragedy was consumed like a whipped dessert.

You might snap your neck when you hit the glass between you and the sky, like a bird flying into a window. The world will whisper, I told you so.
