After all, even Denver felt a strangeness about her birth that made her feel "like a bill was due somewhere... But who she owed or what to pay it with eluded her." (77) The mysteries of life do this. Suddenly the book takes us to the Kentucky forest where Sethe is not only tired, scared and lost, but also completely alone. In times like these, we feel an intense need for human contact. If and when we are rescued by a simple voice, and they are willing to extend, it seems to restore our faith in humanity and life. “Come here Jesus,” Amy said calmly to Sethe.
