Lexie: What am I supposed to tell my kids when they ask why this happened to us?
Novalee: You tell them that our lives can change with every breath we take. We both know that. And you tell them to let go of what’s gone. Because men like Roger Briscoe never win. And you tell them to hold on like hell to what they’ve got. Each other, and a mother who would die for them, and almost did. You tell them we’ve all got meanness in us, but we’ve got goodness too. And the only thing worth living for is the good. That is why we’ve got to make sure we pass it on.
