• Cotton : Sis, do you believe in God?

  Clayanna : Of course I do, Cotton.

  Cotton : You don't believe he's an old man with a long white beard, do you?

  Clayanna : [chuckles]  No, I don't.

  Cotton : Then what is he?

  Clayanna : Oh gosh, Cotton. That's going to be hard for you to understand. He's, eh, everything. And he knows all about you. He judges what's in a man's heart.

  Cotton : Like our Pa?

  Clayanna : No. No, not exactly like our Pa. Though, our Pa is a great man of God. God is a force. He's - he's a power. He's a creator of everything that's good.

  Cotton : But, does he protect us?

  Clayanna : Well, of course he protects us. Come on.

• Clayanna : [voice over]  Weeks of hard travel had left us bone-weary.
