Reader's Ink discussion

Louisa is an interesting person. I really like her. If you were her, would you have quit working for the Traynors, and if so, at what point?

I've taken care of people with health issues in the past, in fact a lot of my life. I hope I would have the gumption to stick it out and to be a help to the family. As a family unit I liked the Traynors overall. Yea they are disfunctional and so is Louisa's family. In a lot of ways her Mom drove me nuts, but her Dad seems to have a good heart, and when he was going through the "Losing job" section, that was very hard. My family went through that too, and it was extremely difficult on my Dad and Mom. My Mom started working, so she was breadwinner, housekeeper, cook, shop, everything. My Dad didn't do anything. So I guess I still harbor some angry feelings about that time in our life.
