Quotes
I am Regina, who once was twelve years old, but now am thirteen.
In every forest, on every shore, I would look for my brother, my father, my mother, my kin.
He is my brother, white as snow, pure as the sunrise. I am his sister, dark as the earth, deep as the night.
There is a secret place, deep in the forest, where I hide my love for my brother.
I am Regina, daughter of Jacques and Marie Leininger, sister of Jean-Claude, sister of Robert.
When will I see my brother again? When will I see my mother, my father, my kin?
I am Regina, who was once twelve years old, but now am thirteen.
My brother, my family, my kin. I will find you.
How can I be who I am if I am not with my family?
I will be strong. I will survive. I am Regina.
In the eyes of the Indians, I am white. In the eyes of the whites, I am Indian. In my own eyes, I am Regina.
My heart aches for the family I have lost.
