Once Feather's home, Bobby realizes his purpose in life. Although this event is in the middle of the chronological story, it actually occurs near the end of the book, because Bobby has two real coming of age moments: when he decides to keep Feather, and when he decides to move to Ohio to give Feather a better life. And even though he may struggle with the responsibility, he never struggles with the love for his daughter.
