Truer Words Seldom Spoken

"But I was now standing in Sophie's shoes and I knew life was neither so simple nor so clear-cut . . . . When you love someone you long to trust them. When you love someone you yearn for the relationship to come right. When you love someone forgiveness is easy, patience is natural and hope becomes a way of life. How easy it is to endure too much suffering and lose sight of the place where the line against abuse has to be drawn!"
