It came down to the smallest things, really, that a person could do to say I'm sorry, to say it's okay, to say I forgive you. The tiniest of declarations that built, one on top of the other, until there was something solid beneath your feet. And then . . . and then. Who knew?
Loved this book. It was realistic and complex and resisted the easy answers. I loved Deanna and her brother and Stacy.
Notes, May 2013: I wish Lee had been a bit more developed. I have no idea why she forgave Deanna and I wish Deanna had been the one to start that conversation.
