About This Quote

Amanda, on the other hand, took the torn page from Maniac. To her, it was the broken wing of a bird, a pet out in the rain. Amanda is a young girl who has lost someone very close to her. She weeps and cries and sits by the window hoping that she will see her friend again. Amanda is missing what Maniac still has: a precious book and hope for the future.
