Barbara Hershey: Kathy Monroe

Quotes 

• Kathy Monroe : Clayt, while you were gone, the twins and I and Amy had a little meeting.

  Clayt Monroe : Oh?

  Kathy Monroe : We decided we don't want to go back to Illinois no matter what. And we know there'll be problems ahead. Still, like Ma said... we trusted Pa. When it comes right down to it, I guess we'll have to trust you from now on. We'll do whatever you say, Clayt.

  Clayt Monroe : We'll not be going back. I told the Major we'll stay. I told him I'd fight if I had to. It's just like Pa said, if it were easy, it ain't worth having.

• Clayt Monroe : Kath, you don't understand. This is a wilderness. There's just me and the four of you. And you're just a child, too.

  Kathy Monroe : Clayt, I'm not a child. I'm sixteen. I'm a woman.
