My Reading Digest about the book :
p.195
Jamie didn't look as depressed as I thought she would. But then again, she'd been living with this for seven months already. She and Hegbert had been the only ones to know, and neither of them had trusted even me. I was hurt by that and frightened at the same time.
"I'd made a decision," she explained to me, "that it would be better if I told no one, and I asked my father to do the same. You saw how people were after the services today. No one would even look me in the eye. If you had only a few months left to die, is that what you would want?"
I knew she was right, but it didn't make it any easier. I was, for the first time in my life, completely and utterly at a loss.

"Aren't you frightened?"
Somehow I expected her to say no, to say something wise like a grown-up would, or to explain to me that we can't presume to understand the Lord's plan.
She looked away. "Yes," she finally said, "I'm frightened all the time."
"Then why don't you act like it?"
"I do, I just do it in private."
"Because you don't trust me?"
"No," she said, "because I know you're frightened, too."
