Some Secrets in the Lines...

"I imagined the ladies' hotel as a place with wide marble staircase, a revolving door, and a bellman to help you carry your stuff.

The reality was something out of a horror movie."(177)

I mean Why did Garnet supposed that mama would be succesful? She didn't sang right and wasn't a patient woman. I think that Garnet was expecting too much from her and the only was she was kind of succesful was when she took all the diability money that was meant for the ones who were really needed it...the girls. She even worked as a waitress and one could infer that a waitress couldn't afford such apartment.

Why this happen?

"Before I knew it, I was bawling like a calf in a hailstorm, and there was nobody there to hear me."(192)

I feel sorry for Garnet. None of this should've been meant or her and Opal. They were supposed to live a happy life and they weren't supposed to be concerned about adults problems. Garnet went to Nasville! Nashville! And she found out that mama was in someway "stealing" the money.

Final Thoughts

This book full of imagination and creativity is almost getting to an end. My mind is 100% into this book and as I continue to read each time more and more, tremendous secrets are revealed. There is so much to explore and so much to learn from this little young girl Garnet. This book touches we can say "fragile" topics that are certainly and issue in real life. For example: kids escaping from home, Mothers that leave their children, the goverment helping families with supplies etc. I really, really, reallty hope that daddy come home soon because with mama they'll die waiting. I just hope that everything specially for Garnet turns out just right.
