PLACE 2: The Clearing
“Accepting no title of honor before her name, but allowing a small caress after it, she became an unchurched preacher, one who visited pulpits and opened her great heart to those who could use it...Uncalled, unrobed, unanointed, she let her great heart beat in their presence” (102)

PLACE 3: The Church
“Before it was the Church of the Holy Redeemer, it was a dry-goods shop that had no use for side windows, just front ones for display. They were papered over while members considered whether to paint or curtain them--how to have privacy without losing the little light that might want to shine on them” (257).
