I related to this story on many levels. As a single mother myself I could relate to many of the experiences described and gained insight into what my children may be experiencing as a result of events they have no control over. As a daughter who has at times experienced a strained relationship with my own mother, I gained valuable insights into my own childhood memories and interpretations and was reminded, again, that there is much more to the story that I do not completely understand. And as always– the betrayal revealed in the end made the recent and painful betrayal of my own life seem small and insignificant in comparison.
