Discussion Questions

1. What do you think attracts people like Olivia to the ideas of tolerance and inclusivity?

2. Where did marriage come from? How did God define it?

3. Whit used the example of a fountain pen to show how something that’s designed for a purpose can be used correctly or misused. How do you think that lines up with God and His design for humanity?

4. Is love the only thing that matters in relationships or marriage? If not, what else matters? How do you define love? Can you love the wrong things or the wrong people?

5. Why is Vance not part of the Whit’s End crowd? Based on what you know of Vance’s attitudes, do you agree or disagree with him?

6. How does Wooton feel about his cousin Hadley? How does Connie feel about her half-sister, Jules? How does Jules feel about her father?

7. How should we treat family members whom we don’t like very much or who make us uneasy?

8. What did Katrina and Eugene decide to do about Buck? Why? What did Eugene mean by “redemption”?

Quotes

Jason Whittaker: Say, does this town of yours have a name?
Unknown: I guess you could call it... a ghost town.

Hadley Bassett: I'm Milt and Wanda's boy; I think I'm a...second cousin twice removed.
Penny Wise: Removed from what?
Hadley Bassett: Civilization, mostly...

Eugene Meltsner: We would, in essence, be serving as Buck's parents. It's a daunting thought.
John Whittaker: Yeah, but you won't be alone. And don't forget your wealth of experiences.
Eugene Meltsner: Well, I wouldn't dismiss what I've learned working here. Yet, it isn't about what I know; it's about what I don't know that worries me. I mean, the many variables, the—the things I can't anticipate.
John Whittaker: The variables are God's business. You can't always predict them any more than you can predict the future. It's kind of like preparing for a tornado: you know what to do to keep safe, but—but once it's hit, you're always surprised by the intensity and the damage it causes.
Eugene Meltsner: Are you suggesting that parenting is like experiencing a tornado?
