Black and white photo of young woman in old-fashioned dress. "The independence I visualized in marriage was in fact a different kind of dependence and, of that at least, Eileen was free. She had no home of her own and boarded with the parents of her pupils, but she was a skilled and popular teacher and well #treated by everyone."

Hanging branch of black cherries. "The name Cherry Creek had conjured images of a cool, shaded river and brightly blossoming #trees, but the reality was far otherwise. Only low black chokecherry shrubs grew on its banks, their honey-sweet scent laced with bitterness."

It's Book Quote Wednesday and the word is TREE. Amallar has trees, many trees. Lots of paragraphs and settings involve trees. Also autumn makes a good time for talk about big changes, as Hans and Dorilian set out to do in this scene from THE GOD SPEAR. #bookqw #WritingCommunity

Left side of image is the book cover of THE GOD SPEAR, book 4 of the Triempery Revelations series by L.L. Stephens. Cover is orange, gold, and red and shows a young woman walking along a country lane toward a distant, strangely shaped hill crowned by antlers.

Right side of image is a text excerpt from THE GOD SPEAR, in which two characters, Hans and Dorilian, begin to discuss a highly improbable and powerful gift.

“The Khelds aren’t going to believe that you want to bargain in good faith just because I say so. They’ll toss me out of the Witan if I come to them with no more than that!”
Dorilian eyed him icily. “If you wanted more than that, you should have stayed in Sordan.”
“But I didn’t. And you know what? I’m glad I didn’t. Because now I know where I stand with my people, not yours. I don’t cling to any nice little dreams that Amallar or the Khelds are going to blindly follow me wherever I lead them. I know that I have to bring them more than what they’ve already got.”
Dorilian leaned his weight upon the bole of the tree. It was a posture so natural to him that Hans could almost take seriously his pretense of contemplation. “And what do these Khelds not have that you would give them?”
“The Rill.”

Hospital patient and bedside visitor holding hands, with out of focus nurse in the background. "His mother coughed, choked, tried to sit up. 'My throat,' she whispered. The nurse gave her a sip of water, and then she looked at Finn and said, 'You promised.' He didn’t know what she meant, what he had promised. A relaxed, congratulatory mood filled the room now. The nurse loosened the restraints and Finn sat in a chair and held his mother’s hand. 'My leg hurts,' she complained. 'What are you doing to me?' The nurse reached to adjust the IV #drip.

Two teenage girls in long dresses, standing in a grassy field. We had been running and laughing and were a little flushed, and my hair, my pale, despised, freshly washed, and unruly hair, was windblown and fluffy. We did not present a ladylike appearance. Andrew stopped short, staring—not at lovely, petite Laura with her honey-colored curls, but at me, plain, freckled, straw-haired Molly, whom he had known all his life.
