Mom decided to do the book meme. It has been running around the blogosphere and she hadn't done it yet, so here goes.
Here are the rules:
1. Pick up the nearest book.
2. Open to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the next three sentences.
"Patrick knew, from talking to the shrinks who'd been assigned to work with the victims, that this was perfectly normal. Amnesia was one way for the mind to protect itself from reliving something that would otherwise break you apart. In a way, he wished he could be as lucky as Josie, that he could make what he'd seen vanish."
Nineteen Minutes, by Jodi Picoult
Very fascinating excerpt! Ah, Lucky ... sigh ... :)
