1. The Weight of Sin
“Faith: It’s because of me. God punished me because of the things I did before we met.

2. Breaking Paradigms
“It takes purpose to break the paradigms that others set for us. As a woman, I know this well.” – Rebecca
3. The Madness of Ambition
“Rebecca: Well, anyone who spends time in Chapelwaite is either a lunatic or runs the risk of becoming one. [Charles looks concerned] It’s just a rumor, Mr. Boone. I mean, isn’t that what ambitions are? A form of madness? Isn’t a sliver of lunacy what it takes to dream beyond the realm of the ordinary?”

“There’s something inside that you hide from us. It scares me.” – Loa
7. The Boone Family’s Reputation
“Samuel: Mr. Boone. Your children. Are they Christian?
