I don't use a crap camera, I don't eat junk, and I'm not going to a dance where the boys are bores
Adriana TrigianiIf you look around to find meaning in everything that happens, you will end up disappointed. Sometimes there arenโt reasons behind the terrible things that go on. I ask myself, If I knew all the answers, would it help? I lie awake and wonder why I donโt have parents and wonder what will become of my brother and me. But when the morning comes, I realize that thereโs nothing to be done about what has already happened. I can only get up and do my chores and push through the day and find the good in it.

Adriana TrigianiThe Wise County Bookmobile is one of the most beautiful sights in the world to me. When I see it lumbering down the mountain road like a tank . . . I flag it down like an old friend. I've waited on this corner every Friday since I can remember. The Bookmobile is just a government truck, but to me it's a glittering royal coach delivering stories and knowledge and life itself. I even love the smell of books. People have often told me that one of their strongest childhood memories is the scent of their grandmother's house. I never knew my grandmothers, but I could always count on the Bookmobile.
