Happy Mother's Day to all of you mothers out there! I hope you have a great day, full of people you love.

Singing must bring a person
closer to God.
It was the only way Evangeline
Haywood could explain the joy that washed over her—no, through her—when the
music took her. Her parents didn’t exist. Neither did the looming marriage
to the man she didn’t like. Standing in the little salon behind the Grey Swan
Public House, nothing else existed, only the breath in her lungs and the song
in her bones. And it was heaven.
This is lovely. :) I love the "song in her bones" phrase -- it makes it so clear how important singing is to her.
