“My mother gave me a disappointed look. Then I gave her one back. Mine was for everything, not just the sandwich”

Readers have said that they feel very negatively towards June's mother, Danni. How do you feel about her? How much is she to blame for the events in the book?

Hard to say, people make choices as she did to put down her paintbrush to "get a real job"' I have some compassion for her.

Yes, people do make choices that seem to be the best at the time. Do you think she is to blame for other events that alienated her brother's partner and causing her brother emotional pain while he was alive?
