Quote #10
It must have been a very long time since Esperanza and Estevan had been in a place where they looked just like everybody else, including cops. The relief showed in their bodies. I believe they actually grew taller. And Turtle fit right in too; this was her original home. I was the odd woman out. (15.3)
As Taylor, Estevan, Esperanza, and Turtle drive further into Cherokee Nation territory, Estevan and Esperanza are visibly relieved to be in a place where they're no longer two people of color alone in a sea of white. If you compare their lived experience as refugees and people of color to Virgie Mae and Granny Logan's certainty that America is being "overrun" by illegal aliens and foreigners, what stands out?
