Originally, I seldom do snippets of line summaries, but some of the lines are so beautifully written that they are memorable and I want to record them.
About the third episode, the girl that Jenny met on the road was pregnant and mistook her prostitute as her lover. Jenny sent her to a shelter, but the girl was obsessed with prostitution. Jenny was indignant and complained to the priest that the girls did not know how to avoid danger. Father:
They've usually been in danger all their lives. If not from violence, then from hunger and disease. ... Poverty isn't bad housing, dirty laundry, families of ten. It's never having been loved, or even respected, not knowing the difference between love and abuse, a kiss that wasn't down payment on a blow.
Jenny's emotional state:
Keep my guard up, keep my head down, keep my distance from the world and believe myself content.
In the fifth episode, the orphan brothers and sisters who depended on each other for life, the sister sat on the edge of the brother's bed for the last ride before he died.
A dying person needs to have someone with them to hold their hand, stroke their forehead, whisper a few words.
That night, my sister took my brother morphine and accompany him to death. Jenny's monologue:
Love permeated every nook and chimney, every corner and crevice of that little house. You can feel it as soon as you entered the front door. A presence so tangible you could feel and touch it.
