An Example of Why Serena Really IS a Goddess

From "The Brooklyn Days":

This book makes it clear, in the most compelling way I've ever encountered, that true peace can only be attained through truth, justice, clarity, and then an understanding and compassion that encompasses both the abused and the abuser. You do not obtain peace, or even a lasting social stability, by sweeping ugliness under the carpet. Neither do you obtain justice by signing up for a lasting inner rage which obviates trust, compassion, and redemption.

The lady's a genius, I tell you.

(The book she's talking about is Leaving the Saints: How I Lost the Mormons and Found my Faith. It's now on my list.)
