Hi, Obiageli. Yes empathy, patience, and never giving up were qualities that Lena had. Thank you for sharing you feedback.Obiageli Udeh wrote: ↑27 Oct 2025, 09:04 It was fundamental as it shows the role empathy and patience can have when children are growing. Lena was patient with Kalayla and never gave up on her. Lena's wisdom definitely helped Kalayla maturity.

Hi, Maria. I agree. Lena made it her mission to be available for Kalayla, and Kalayla was looking for someone to listen. They were perfect for each other.Maria Loukaidou wrote: ↑19 Dec 2025, 06:05 Lena’s empathy and wisdom in norturing Kalayla’s mature behavior is very instrumental. Lena was all the time around them, helping them in any way she could. Maureen was struggling herself but Lena make herself not to struggle so much herself. I really liked the very mature bahavior of Kalayla! Kalayla was so mature as a person in the book, as one of the characters.

Hi, Victor. I agree with you, totally. Thank you for contributing to this discussion.Victor Nwabuisi wrote: ↑29 Dec 2025, 21:54 Lena’s empathy was instrumental to Kalayla, I think this is because of her experience in raising her boys which made her to be able to handle Kalayla and even made a great impact in her life. This helped Kalayla to avoid the street lifestyle and be more closer to Lena.

Hi, Sahana G B, I concur with your thoughts. Thank you for adding to this discussion.Sahana G B wrote: ↑31 Dec 2025, 02:12 I believe Lena's empathy was instrumental to Kalayla, because she made herself available to guide her through the right path, not by utter force or being completely strict. She guided with kindness, efforts, and empathy, which helped Kalayla to understand. Lena being a mother herself, her role in Kalayla's life is beneficial.
