Synopsis

Something strange happened on an unremarkable day just before the season changed. Everybody who was outside... went inside. Outside, it was quieter, wilder, and different. Inside, we laughed, we cried, and we grew. We remembered to protect the ones we love and love the ones who protect us. While the world changed outside, we became stronger on the inside and believed that someday soon spring would come again.

Then when I turned around to return, I told the circulation clerk that she should read Outside, Inside if she has a minute. I know she h......more
