Hi!
Maybe, I'm not sure. Sometimes parents leave, and there's not a good explanation behind it. I think Misha dealt with something that happens to a lot of kids, and wrapping everything up might seem unrealistic. I wanted readers to have a good escape with the book, but I also wanted them to relate. People who are supposed to love you and take care of you might disappoint you, but it doesn't define who you are. It doesn't have to set the pace for your entire life. Misha realized this and moved on with his life, despite his mother.
I definitely understand readers would like to more about that story, though.
