"'You have to work hard to make it out here. Life isn't easy. You've already learned that. Sometimes things are so rough that you want to give up, but you don't. You keep going, and you know what, Belle? It's worth it. I've learned that. And maybe you have, too. Things can be as dark as night, but there is always the yellow light of dawn. I think of the yellow light as a time of hope.'" (Chapter 13: Becky)
