Does Tom regret his past with his daughter?
Do you think Tom regrets how he was with his daughter. Do you think he'll be a better parent to Sarah than he was to Becky?

I agree. I wonder if in the sequel readers will learn more about Becky.Christina Rose wrote:I think at one point, Tom comes out and says that he should have, and could have, done more for his daughter. So, I definitely think he felt regret.

I hope so. One of the issues I have with this novel, is not knowing enough about the characters and their background stories.Amagine wrote:I agree.

I agree. I kind of feel like you justbget plunged into the story with with brief introductions to everyone, and little is built or developed after that.Christina Rose wrote:I hope so.

But to answer the main question, yes I do believe Tom has some regrets on how he handled Becky growing up and you see him try to compensate by treating Sarah differently.
