Quotes[]

#1 Douglas: "She's turned her back on my flesh and blood."

#2 Ruby: "If I held him, I think I might die with the sadness. Why did they save him?"

Jenny: "Life is never without hope."

#3 Jane: "I’ve been scared as long as I can remember. I used to sit bolt upright in bed and scream. My parents sent me away. Life for me is full of fear but I want you to know that I really wanted to come to the dance with you but I was too scared."

#4 Rev. Applebee-Thornton: "It was in the silences at the dinner table that I felt my parents’ hatred for each other, so I grew accustomed to filling them. I talk so that I won’t know what the silence holds."

#5 Mature Jenny: "It had been the biggest gamble of Douglas’ life, but the dividends paid were high, and beautiful. The Roberts’ baby defied all odds and thrived beautifully."
