This novel takes you throughout all the opinions of each family member. Reading this novel I have learned many things .Most importantly i have gained an understanding of the difficult decisions of a parent. At the same time I sympathize for any child born only to serve someone else. I have learned to appreciate the thing i am granted in life in the knowledge that it could all be worse.
