Those were the elements that made a story satisfying to me."

You could sit down and make yourself easy now. He would take the ax and convert the rest of the nation himself."

I think about the pledge I made to her that day: that I would give her what I never had - that if I could be anything in life, I would be a good father. I knew that day that my own life wouldn't count for much unless she had every opportunity in hers."
