I think it worked out well for all of them. Families are not always blood related. Kalayla needed stability. And Lena helped to give that stability and protection to her and her mother. Maureen too benefited from a mother figure and co-parent to Kalayla because of Lena's presence in their lives. Finally, Lena benefitted a great deal from having Maureen and Kalayla in her life. She got a chance to reflect on her own family and make things right. The two also brought light in to her life and she was able to finally start living again. I think it was a win win for everyone.Kelyn wrote: ↑01 Sep 2020, 20:48 What do you think about the psychological/sociological bonds that form between the three main characters? To me, despite the character's differing backgrounds, the relationships gradually formed into a type "surrogate" immediate family:
Lena - (surrogate) mother/ grand-mother
Maureen - Lena's (surrogate) daughter/ Kalayla's mother
Kalayla - Maureen's daughter/ Lena's (surrogate) grand-daughter
In your opinion, how did this satisfy the needs of each character? Did one character get more out of the relationship than the others?
