From the book:
āI was not willing to accept that my fate was to live unhappily ever after. Everythingāmy family, my home, my chance to go to schoolāhad been given back to me, and I didnāt want to miss a second chance of living my own life.ā āElizabeth Smart
āThere are two types of survivors: the ones who did not die, and the ones who live. There will be those who will always remember and be the victim, and ones who just wonāt. You have to go on, you have to learn, and you have to heal.ā āDiane von Furstenberg
