Fics like take root, take flight

Rindy Aird, growing up. Every morning, Rindy finds herself peering critically at her reflection in the mirror, as if searching for something. The soft curve of her mother’s lips, perhaps. The sharp of her cheekbones. Under the morning light her mother’s golden curls might glow a soft orange, but Rindy’s hair has always remained an unimpressive shade of dirty blonde. ‘You look like her around the eyes,’ is what Aunt Therese tells her. Some days Rindy believes her; other days she thinks it is nothing more than a trick of the light. But a woman who gave up her life of dazzling normalcy and chose, instead, to be unutterably herself -- such a woman would have more to show than just, say, full lips and sharp cheekbones. And it is her silent courage and quiet self-possession that Rindy wants, above all else, to emulate.
