“Daddy was an idea man who never quite found a way to make a living with his ideas, but I never doubted his love for Momma. At the same time, I looked around the cabin with its fence-like walls and felt sorry for Momma; she deserved better than to have spiders and mice going through her stuff.”

“On my first day of freedom, I decided to do something Daddy would never do—get a job. All my life, I’d wanted to live like normal people. From what I could tell, employment was the dividing line between my family and normal people.”

“Jake put his arm around me, then lowered his voice as if Daddy and the Persuader were standing over his shoulder. “My counselor says we’ll never be able to live until our parents are dead.”
"His words hit me like a slap in the face. Tears filled my eyes. I didn’t want my parents to die, but I wanted to live.”

“Winter was coming, and I felt guilty living in a comfortable house with modern conveniences while my family struggled in a rustic cabin. I lay awake at night wondering if my siblings were warm enough or if Momma had enough money for food.”

“I thought about all the times Daddy had decided to move and disrupt Momma’s plans to set up a home. She couldn’t see it, or she wouldn’t admit it, and I didn’t like her ignoring the truth. I stared out the window at the miniature trees and sighed quietly. I felt like I needed to return to college before I became stunted like Momma and those trees.”
