  1. Notes on chapter 8:

    This chapter cycles through struggle and symbolic representations of relief or resolution. The flowers of The Miracle of Dog Doo Park symbolize how beauty and life can come from what seems like nothing just as Taylor and Lou Ann have the joy of their children and other precious glimpses of life’s beauty, though they each came from "nothing". (They will return to the park in a later chapter for another "miracle.") The bird outside the window of the doctor’s office, building her nest without hesitation among the horrible, thick spines of a cactus, represents to Taylor Turtle’s amazing ability to live her young life in the thorns of abuse and neglect. Perhaps even the old tortoise with his cumbersome shell, who after an afternoon of plodding pursuit attains his goal, represents achieving satisfaction even when one’s circumstances seem difficult or impossible.
