Exploration
In Belle Prater's Boy, Aunt Belle is headed off on her own great adventure, leaving her home and family behind in order to pursue her own dreams in the big wide world. She's not the only one exploring the world, though. Gypsy and Woodrow are in that strange place between childhood and adulthood, and they're exploring the world around them through different eyes. They're going to the movies, learning about adult responsibilities and sorrows, and even seeing their community differently thanks to night walks with Blind Benny. They might not go far, but they're definitely exploring. Big time.
Aunt Belle hasn't left because she wants to get farther away from the people she loves (like Woodrow). She's gone because she wants to get closer to knowing herself.
Gypsy has lived in Coal Station her whole life, but it's only when Woodrow comes to town that she really finds the courage to explore the town.
