"Behold me, here I am; thy little handmaiden Acceptance-with-Joy and all that is in my heart is thine."

Here in Raine, I can walk with the sunlight on my face. I can speak to anyone who speaks to me. I can learn my daughter's language. I can be called the name I was given when I was born. Here I am no longer my own secret. Will you let me stay?
