Kindle Notes & Highlights
Stella wallace met her family’s god when she was nine years old.
When he got to the top of Rich Mountain she wanted him to look down and see her burning like a bonfire.
What offended Stella most about the script was that it erased the woman they were talking about. Stella didn’t expect him to talk about Motty’s service to the God in the Mountain, but where was any mention of her regal stubbornness?
Someone needed to remind this crowd how Motty refused to take shit from any man, whether he was a preacher, cop, or government flunky.
Stella wondered if he’d intentionally copied him, or if every man around here grew up knowing how to sound as condescending as Moses.
