“I’m the onion girl,” Jilly Coppercorn says, “Pull back the layers of my life, and you won’t find anything at the core. Just a broken child. A hollow girl.” She’s run from the past and the truth for so long. She’s very, very good at running. But life has just forced Jilly to stop.
~from Onion Girl by Charles de Lint.
Looks like it’ll be a great book once I finally start reading it. 🙂
