“Could it be as simple as that? Could love not be grand gestures or empty vows, not promises meant to be broken, but instead a paper trail of forgiveness? A line of crumbs made of memories, to lead you back to the person who was waiting?” –Jodi Piccoult

I was weary about Jodi Piccoult’s mystery/fantasy novel, Leaving Time, up until this very line. Sometimes, writers come across lines so good, they would read 394 pages just to get to one. This is one of those pages.
