Passage from A Tree Grows in Brooklyn


“She was all these things and of something more that did not come from the Rommely’s or the Nolans, the reading, the observing, the living from day to day. It was something that had been born into her and her only—that something different from anyone else in the two families. It was what God or whatever is His equivalent puts into each soul that is given life—the one different thing such as that which makes no two fingerprints on the face of the earth alike.”
