Chapter 9:
- According to Skloot at the same time that "Stores, nightclubs, cafes, and schools had closed, and drug dealers, gangs and violence were on the rise" (68) Turner had more than ten churches.

- When Deborah first visits Turner Station nearly everyone stops to watch her, why do you this happens? Why did she seem so nervous?
