The Father I Never Met
On the VIRTUE FALLS Readers' Guide, one question is: "Like her father, Elizabeth is dedicated to the study of geology & the changes in the earth *despite* being raised by her aunt & uncle. How much of our personalities/ interests are formed by our DNA/ parents/ ancestors? Do you find family members comparing you to a relative you’ve never known?"
The reason I asked that question was based on the fact I never met my father (he died before I was born.) I knew he was a printer who worked on newspapers but, until a relative sent me the clipping (thank you, Emily!), I didn't know he also occasionally wrote articles as a reporter. So I got the desire & the writing talent from the father I never met. How cool is that?
Happy Father's Day, and—do *you* find family members comparing you to a relative you've never known?

If you'd like to use the readers' group questions VIRTUE FALLS, they are here: http://www.christinadodd.com/readers-... But as always with these kinds of guides, they're full of spoilers so please read the novel first!
