"He still heard his mother's voice--'Davey'--rise like whisper-dust from unseen corners in the house, but it was no longer the only voice he heard. His ears were also filled with the voices of others--his father and Primrose and Refrigerator John and his grandmother. Of course, all of their words for a thousand years could not fill the hole left by his mother, but they could raise a loving fence around it so he didn't keep falling in."
Jerry Spinelli, Eggs

David met Primrose at the Easter Egg hunt, who are looking for new life. Eggs are delicate, but the shell is also relatively strong. A tough shell is often used to cover up our sensitive insides.

Primrose and David use their anger at people and each other as their tough shells covering up what they really are beneath their shells.
