Liir’s friend, Candle, explains in the book how your past makes up who you are and how you should never want to change your past by saying “Memory is a part of the present. It builds us up inside; it knits our bones to our muscles and keeps our hearts pumping. It is memory that reminds our bodies to work, and memory that reminds our spirits to work to: it keeps us who we are.
