- Latest Review: Debt Cleanse by Jorge P. Newbery
When he killed his grandson, I don't believe it was sympathy for his daughter Ann or for his now deformed grandson. It was probably more likely anger and shame that made him end his grandson's life. Ashamed that his family was in the news, ashamed his daughter was maimed, and angry he could not throw money at the problem to fix it.
Even when Hiram went on his journey of self-discovery, I do not feel he became a good father. I do feel like he tried to be a friend to his children. Tried to confide in them and seek their assistance in getting his memoire created, and tried to get them to understand him. But he did not act in a way that I felt was fatherly after his escape from incarceration. But, he was to them as a friend than he'd ever been as a father.
