“Maybe thinking any one person can show up and give you all you need is as much of a delusion as thinking you can find truth in a bottle. Maybe you can just find what you need in little pieces, in people who show up for one crucial moment – or a whole chain of them – even if they can’t solve it all. Maybe this is the secret of big families, like the Garretts... and like AA. People’s strengths can take their turn. There can be more of us than there is trouble.”
