Summary
Analysis
They bury Deborah three days later on Rocky Top. In his heart, Ron feels nothing but bitterness towards God. The memorial service ends and Ron leaves, but Denver stays behind with the pallbearers to lower the casket into the ground.
Ron’s struggle with faith and anger towards God are cemented by his wife’s death. This will become a primary conflict throughout the remainder of the book.
