Hey G! Thanks for posting these! I’ve read through each question at least 5xs! I’m not sure which one I want to answer... (also a disclaimer I am using text to speech so excuse errors!)
ultimately I have to go for #3... which child was impacted/ changed the most.. 1st I like this question because I really enjoyed all of the different personalities of each of the characters in the book. Especially the children/teens. They all brought something different to the table. I have to say that my favorite character of the of the 4 children was Izzy. For me, she was the most mysterious passionate and in my eyes was a very powerful character that I felt the author maybe didn’t utilize as much as she could have (maybe that’s a sequel, haha). There was a side to her that no one understood, she was always the black sheep of the family and the black sheep of the community. She saw things through a different perspective than that of the shaker community. She was intellectually curious, bold, and my favorite part was that she didn’t have a filter for what she said, which made the shaker community very uncomfortable in her presence.
When Mia and Pearl Became fixtures in the Richardsons household I truly believe that Izzy was the most impacted. In Mia she found someone to listen to her and who provided her with something that her family, friends, and community could never give her. It was through that friendship, and the way that Mia showed her love that she Was able to genuinely find who she was. (Again I think this could have been elaborated ).
Of course the other siblings also went through other life situations that changed them, made them a little older, and see the world from a different point of view. Perhaps for the first time their own point of view.

I’m really interested to see what others think 😊
