    “I met a Californian who would
    Talk California—a state so blessed
    He said, in climate, none had ever died there
    A natural death, and Vigilance Committees
    Had had to organize to stock the graveyards
    And vindicate the state’s humanity.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “What would happen if one woman told the truth about her life?
    The world would split open”
