Quote of the Day: John Walters
From The Same River Twice:
[Svetlana Abrosimova spends her second Christmas with the family of her teammate, Shea Ralph.]
Last Christmas Shea's family had urged her to call her parents back in St. Petersburg on Christmas morning. When she did, Roy, Marsha, Shea, and Ryan gathered around her. After a minute or two, Sveta stopped talking and eyed her hosts curiously. She felt self-conscious.
"Go ahead, Svet," they urged. "We just want to hear you speak Russian."
