Friendship and family are interconnected themes in the book. Can friendships sometimes provide family better than family itself? Walter isn’t Amanda’s biological father, but he loves her fully and is the most present person in her life. On the other hand, Avery Parker still loves the son she never knew. How do you define family?
Yes. I have always found more support from my “found family” than from those to whom I am related by blood. I tried to do better for my children, but am not sure I succeeded.
