Doorstop Baby: Florida and Dallas were left on the front steps of the orphanage when they were babies. It's implied their mother may have been mentally ill in some way, causing her to do this.

Good Parents: Tiller and Sairy seem to have been good parents to their children, and demonstrate some of that good parenting with the twins as well.

Orphanage of Fear: Boxton Creek Home, where Florida and Dallas live at the beginning of the story. Orphans at the Home are harshly punished for breaking any of the owners' many stern rules, and the twins recall a case where a boy died because the orphanage owners didn't get him medical attention for a serious illness.
