Quote from this book
"'I live in the desert of the heart,' Evelyn said quietly. 'I can't love the whole damned world.'

'Love me, Evelyn.'

'I do.'

'But you don't want me!'

Evelyn looked at Ann, the child she had always wanted, the friend she had once had, the lover she had never considered. Of course she wanted Ann."
