Quotes by Tina McElroy Ansa  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Sometimes she could she her brother, mother and grandmother pull away, almost recoil from her, when she said or did something they weren't expecting, which could be just about anything. It didn't really hurt her feelings. It was always just a fleeting look or feeling, anyway, and she never doubted the love her family felt for her- even when she was mad with all of them. She just figured their reactions were part of the way life was, like her seeing ghosts and knowing not to tell anyone about it.”
Tina McElroy Ansa, Baby of the Family

“I’ve learned not to doubt my first mind. You can’t go wrong following your first mind. I had discovered that over the years.”
Tina McElroy Ansa, You Know Better: A Novel

“It's not the man in your life. It's the life in your man.”
Tina McElroy Ansa, The Hand I Fan With
