favorite line from the book—
“He breathes in with the smoke a different kind of sadness that is not so unwelcome. It is not the sharp grief he had felt for months now, but a quiet, familiar, and long-standing heartbreak that had less to do [with his own life], and more to do with the changing trees and the new chill and charred soil that mark a yearly routine that goes on in spite of everything.” -pg 176
