Children of the Dust (1995)

Joanna Going: Rachel

Quotes 

• Shelby Hornbeck : I've been haunted by my mother's death for so many years now.

  Rachel : I'm haunted, too. I found my mother hanging from the ceiling when I was just a kid.

  Shelby Hornbeck : It's a cruel message for a mother to leave her daughter.

  Rachel : Yes, it was. She seemed to be saying that life is too difficult, too painful, too empty to keep on struggling; that is was better to die than go through with it. I don't want to be like her. I want to have a life filled with love and joy and family.
