She recognizes her chance to make a difference by doing something she’s never dared. Because even though she’s used to playing by the rules, there are times when they need to be broken…

“This was a really interesting book about an Iraq vet trying to do what was right by his daughter, but it didn't seem "right" to society. They lived in the woods and survived on his very small veterans benefits, but, when found by the police, were separated. Really makes you think about what is "right" in terms of raising a child.”
