"I never knew, until I went away from home, how nice we all are!" Julia sobbed.
All this month, my Monday quotes are from Betsy-Tacy books in honor of the Maud Hart Lovelace Reading Challenge, sponsored by Sarah at A Library is a Hospital for the Mind.
Julia, Betsy's older sister, surprises the Rays with a visit home from the "U" midway through this wonderful book. She is somewhat homesick, and her family misses her, so the visit is especially emotional. There's something so delightful about this quote, about being part of a loving family and only realizing it when you are away.
