Quotes

[last lines]
Lou Cardinal : [narrating] I will always believe that Louisa gave her life so our mother could come back to us. And maybe it didn't hurt that a little girl told her mom she loved her. With our mother back, we didn't have to sell the farm.
Elderly Lou : And Cotton sued Southern Valley for Diamond's death. Since we were the only family he had, the money went to us and Diamond still lives here, in a place I know he loved. My mother and Cotton were married a year later. They spent four wonderful decades together and died within a week of each other.
Elderly Lou : Like my father, I left the mountain, but I came back. I married and raised a family here and I started writing novels just as my father had. And though I never won the sorts of awards he did, my books tended to sell a little better.
Elderly Lou : It's a true comfort to know that I will die here on the high rock, and I will fear my passing not at all, for the view from here is so very fine.
