Quote #10
Isaac survived because he listened to animals. He could help them, which makes pain bearable. And Piper? Piper had me. By saving Piper I saved myself, and all the things that might have killed us were also the things that saved us. (2.6.8)
The family is back together, regrouping after the ravages of war separated them and beat them down. The mention of "saving" here brings us back to the beginning of the novel, when Daisy was a troubled teenager starving herself for attention and in need of some saving herself. For the first time, Daisy acknowledges the ways in which having someone besides herself to live and care for has saved her.
