I was grabbed. My own mother was unavailable to me because she was diagnosed with MS when I was 3. SO it was an abnormal relationship. Shit happens in life. The beauty we would like often cannot take place. It's her or impossible to "name" things.

I felt that this book is full of Truths. Lucy mananged, other adults helped her. Her road wasn't easy. This is the best outcome that can be expected when events wreck normal wanted relationships.(less)
