She came to understand that people had to decide, really, how they were going to live.
This line reminds me of the first novel I wrote, Amy and Isabelle, when Isabelle realizes: “How we live matters.” And I think that is what I was trying to get at here. Dottie, who has lived through much, understands that people have to decide how they are going to live. I think somebody like Dottie would think this. She is a good person, conscientious with the ability to love.
