From The Fire Horse Girl : "What do you think America will be like?" I asked him. "Your uncle used to say that it was a place where stories began. A place where any ending was possible." My eyes widened. "Did Uncle like stories?" "He liked possibilities," he said. "I think America is a land that allows you to walk away from an old life into a better one." I nodded slowly. "And you, what do you think it will be like?" "It will have . . . what do you call it? Getting to live as who you are?" "Freedom," he said. "That is what it will be. Freedom."
