Perfect Glass (A Young Adult Novel (Sequel to Glass Girl))
“As a little kid, when my mom would wake me on winter mornings by turning on my lamp, I always assumed the worst. Like it was the middle of the night and someone was sick.
This morning, driving the darkened streets, I drank my coffee and shrank into my coat. The city trucks that had worked through the night making sure our roads stayed clear were now lined up in the right lane, waiting for a turn to park. Instead of safely changing into the lane moving forward, I stayed too long behind the c...ity trucks at a complete standstill.
I put on my blinker to switch lanes and waited for a break in the line of cars. The dented and rusty truck in front of me had a bumper sticker that caught my eye—“Live to the point of tears.”
I recognized the Camus quote. Who knew that a de-icing truck driver in Chapin, Wyoming was so existential? This morning, darkly reverent, made the words more than they should have been. The quote—live to the point of tears—morphed into some huge, metaphorical shout-out meant for me.MoreLess
