What does Sal do in the badlands in Walk Two Moons?

Answer 1

While Sal was in the Badlands, her grandfather invited a pregnant woman to sit with them. Sal was afraid of pregnant women, and Sal recalled why. Before her mother went missing, she was pregnant. Sal broke her leg, and her mother had to carry her home. She went into labor that night. The baby died, and her mother was bleeding out. They had to transport her to the hospital, and they had to do surgery. Her mom would never be able to have another child, even though she wanted several. This was a very telling part in the story, as it gave us some insight on a reason for her mother's depression.

Answer 2

In the book "Walk Two Moons" by Sharon Creech, Sal travels to the Badlands of South Dakota with her grandparents to visit her mother's grave. She goes on a journey of self-discovery and healing as she reflects on the memories of her mother and comes to terms with her grief.
