"Look out there, Cassie girl. All that belongs to you. You ain't never had to live on nobody's place but your own and long as I live and the family survives, you'll never have to. That's important. You may not understand that now but one day you will. Then you'll see."- This is Mama talking to Cassie about never giving up the land that the family owns because it's one of the few key items in the community that symbolizes that the family is going to move on, and that the family is not going to live in slavery times even if it is still going on.
"Friends gotta trust each other, Stacey, 'cause ain't nothin' like a true friend."-Stacey telling T.J. in Chapter 4 that they are going to stick around with each other and never give up on each other despite T.J. getting Stacey in trouble, basically Stacey forgiving T.J.
