How we cite our quotes: (Part.Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #1
If your parents have you for a reason, then that reason better exist. Because once it's gone, so are you. (1.1.4)
Is Anna being a little overdramatic here? Would her parents stop loving her if Kate were healthy? Or if Kate had died? Actually, the more we get to know the parents, the more we wonder about this ourselves.
Quote #2
I am used to struggling with Jesse, to lightening Kate's load; but Anna is our family's constant. (1.4.31)
That's a nice role to have, but is it fair for a family to put that kind of pressure on any one member, especially one who is only thirteen years old?
Quote #3
I used to pretend that I was just passing through this family on my way to my real one. (2.1.1)
Maybe all kids have this feeling that they're adopted when they don't fit into their family. Anna, though, for better or for worse, knows that this is her family—she was created specifically for them.
