Description
"All rites of passage are paradoxical. On the one hand, there's the opportunity for personal growth, the promise of transcendence. But there is terror and disintegration, too--deep blows to the ego. No wonder that the day a mother hands off her daughter to Pan is unquestionably her worst.... From this moment on, they will fly on their own fuel and eat from the tree of imaginary fruit. They no longer need their mothers, all of whom have taken a bad fall and make their peace with gravity." ~Wendy, of Laurie Fox's The Lost Girls, 165
