"I've never been angry to have been born a woman. There have been times I've been angry at how the world treats us, but I see being a woman as a challenge I must fight. Like being born under a stormy sky. Some people are lucky enough to be born on a bright summer's day. Maybe we were born under clouds. No wind. No rain. Just a mountain of clouds we must climb each morning so that we may see the sun." 
 -- Renee Ahdieh, Flame in the Mist 
 Renee "Frickn'" Ahdieh has done it AGAIN! 
 I started this book June 13th. I only read about 100 pages and didn't have time to take it up again during the week. Until yesterday. Around 9.30 Pm. 
 I didn't regain conciousness until the very last page. Around midnight. 
 It has been a long time since a book affected me like this. And I can't remember the last time a book touched me this way emotionally.
