Martin Wilson's What They Always Tell Us hears the voices of the young as they struggle toward adulthood.

I read because one life isn't enough and in the pages of a book, I can be anybody.

I read because one of these days I'm going to get out of this town, and I'm going to go everywhere and meet everybody, and I want to be ready

[A young adult novel] ends not with happily ever after, but at a new beginning, with the sense of a lot of life yet to be lived.

I read.. because one life is not enough

I'm so far gone that I'm telling the truth. It sounds like a foreign language.
