Quote #10
Anna and I looked at each other but didn't say anything. My mother hardly ever mentioned Denver. When she did, we knew we'd taken something too far.
"I think the road back is a narrow one," she said. "A part of me believes that if we do everything right, we can have it again."
"But we can't ever go back there."
"Not Denver," Mama said. She looked over at my father sitting by the window and lowered her voice. "The happiness. It's not always going to be like this." (16.36-39)
At last we get to a point where home isn't so much about a place but about a feeling. The family can't have a home until they can find a way to make one despite their circumstances. That's some deep stuff right there.
