"There is nothing more profound, more mysterious, more insidious or more dazzling than a window lighted by a single candle - a night window. What one can see out of it is always less interesting than what goes on behind it. In that black, luminous square, life lives, life dreams, and life suffers."
Madeline Patton never expected to get caught; much less reading a book she couldn't possibly afford. However, Jack Harris seems to be all she never had and transforms her life, into that of an infamous night window.

Raising Hell
"I starved myself but I never died. I have no idea how I survived that long without food. The floors I slept on where of moldy brick and sometimes a rat would curl up to my neck. I stopped caring. The warmth kept me sane." I took a deep breath and continued. "The worst part was not knowing. Not knowing what happened to my team. Not knowing happened to my city. I couldn't do anything but stare out the tiny slit of light from under the door. That was my life, that light. I didn't know what time of day it was but that light told me I was still alive. Without it would be darkness." I hear her shift in her chair but stay with my eyes closed. "I think the only thing that kept me going was the pain. It sounds strange but I loved feeling it. It made me feel alive, I still had something. It was the only thing that kept me thinking I wasn't one of the rats. Pain, I realized, was worth it. Because the pain reminded me that I was breathing and awake. And that maybe one day if I ever got out that maybe that pain would go away."Complete
