Billie Jo's father meets her at the station. On their way home, they talk. Billie Jo tells her father that she needs him to be there more for her. She tells him that the bumps on his face worry her and that she wants him to go to the doctor's to have them checked out. Billie Jo's father agrees to go to the doctor's and they work things out. The walk home is a turning point for both Billie Jo and her father. This time it's a positive turning point.
"As we walk together, side by side...I am forgiving him, step by step, for the pail of kerosene. As we walk side by side...I am forgiving myself for all of the rest." Summer 1935 Page 206
