Quotes from June Rae Wood

Punky had shown me how to make friends, how to be free, and I was going to spread my wings and fly.

They both started out with the basic ingredients, but it took a special touch for them to spread their wings and fly.

The other kids ignored me, and that hurt more than I cared to admit. Before long, I'd decided they had nothing on me. I could play their game. I could be happy being invisible.

Besides, not having any friends in my new school was a hundred times better than dealing with my burning sense of guilt -- guilt that I loved Punky with all my heart and yet felt ashamed of him for the first time in my life.
