What is Turtle Stone?

Turtle Stone is an old, large, turtle-shaped rock crisscrossed by beautiful lines of quartz that is a meeting place and area of folklore, legend, and mystery to locals. Turtle Stone is believed to have been a site of religious ceremonial significance to the Indians who once lived there. It is where Betty and Andy sharpen the wire that hurts Henry, and it is where Annabelle later visits and discovers the evidence of the act by the lines left by the wire on the rock –a destruction of beauty. Annabelle reflects on her life in particular, and on life in general at Turtle Rock.
