“'I think about Old Nick carrying me into the truck. I'm dizzy like I'm going to fall down.'
'Scared is what you're feeling,' says Ma, 'but brave is what you're doing.'
'Huh?'
'Scaredybrave.'
'Scave.'
Word sandwiches always make her laugh, but I wasn't being funny.”
- Excerpt from Room, by Emma Donoghue
