Show me your shoes, and I'll have a pretty good idea about who you are! The inspiration for this doodle was a story I read a few years back...
'The shoes always tell a story', said the shoe poet. 'Not always'. I countered. 'Yes, always. Your boots, they are expensive, well made. That tells me that you come from a wealthy family. But the style is one made for an older woman. That tells me they probably belong to your mother. A mother sacrificed her boots for her daughter. That tells me you are loved, my dear. And your mother is not here, so that tells me you are sad, my dear. The shoes tell the story...' A quote from Ruta Sepetys' Salt to the Sea
