I felt like he was still trying to understand it. She became so unhappy in college that I think she just wanted to leave everything behind her. Maybe she was too young to leave home. She should’ve stayed here and commuted. Ed and I could’ve supported her more.’

‘Mom, it’s a natural transition going to college. It wasn’t like she was hours away. She could’ve come home whenever she wanted. You forget that I did it at the same age and I was several hundred miles away. I didn’t have the option of coming home at the weekend.’

You never wanted Jen to grow up; that was the real problem. Grace knew she would never say these things to her mother, even though she felt them deeply. She’d missed out on a father. Jen had all of that, plus a big sister. Grace knew that she couldn’t let jealousy destroy her relationship with her mother, nor prevent her from seeking out a reason for her sister’s actions.
