"...Martha is a magic woman, huge past the point where size can be considered anything less than a blessing of range to the human world. She doesn’t have to consider it at all. When she walks through the streets of town, her clothes stream off her, transformed into feathers, wings, colored sheets, strips of cloth, petals that fly off in a burst. She has majesty."

-- From the book, Martha Moody, written by Susan Stinson
