“It’s funny how people grow into the names they are given. As though a
few letters arranged in a certain order can predict a person’s future happiness
or sorrow. Knowing a person’s name isn’t the same as knowing a person, but
names are the first impression we all judge and are judged by. Daisy Darker
was the name life gave me and I suppose I did grow into it.”
― Alice Feeney, Daisy Darker
