The sheriff fails to break the circle of protection thrown around the real murderer. He realizes that these men are not afraid of Boutan family vengeance, and welcome a chance to get even after whole lifetimes of oppression.
"Ernest J. Gaines makes it clear that dignity and fortitude are virtues available to men and women of all races at all times...profound and moving." (B-O-T Editorial Review Board)
