• “...and it was only then, when I saw the stone and her name – Chanhassen “Sugar” Pickford Hiddle – and the engraving of the tree, that I knew, by myself and for myself, that she was not coming back” (253).

•   “The reason that Phoebe’s story reminds me of that plaster wall and the hidden fireplace is that beneath Phoebe’s story was another one. Mine” (3).

• “My mother especially liked Indian stories.  She knows about thunder gods, earth-makers, wise crows, sly coyotes, and shadow souls.  Her favorite stories were those about people who came back, after death, as a bird, a river, or a horse” (108).
