Marina’s Triumph has arrived, and she must act wisely and carefully: If she keeps Easter, they will all be killed, and the child will be taken anyway; if she brings Anders back, as she set out to do at the beginning, they will live, but Easter will be left behind, betrayed and terrified. It is a victory with a steep cost. Marina has grown strong and courageous enough at this stage of the story to make good on her original goal—to bring Anders home—and accept that Easter’s fate is out of her control. She faces her destiny with courage and saves Anders.

In The Glass Castle, once Jeannette has decided she is leaving town with Lori, she acts with focus. The Triumph at first looks like defeat: Their father ruins a sculpture that Lori has made for her application to art school, and Lori, depressed and discouraged, abandons her plans to go. Then the sisters discover that their piggy-bank savings have been stolen by their unapologetic father.

“I’ll never get out of here,” Lori kept saying. “I’ll never get out of here.”

“You will,” I said. “I swear it.” I believed she would. Because I knew that if Lori never got out of Welch, neither would I.
