Speaking of morality....Another thing about Grace is that she's an example of what could happen without any kind of moral guidance. She was pretty much rotting away in that orphanage for 18 years with no loving, guiding hand to teach her right from wrong. True, after a certain age everyone knows stealing, killing, etc. is wrong, but...I can see how it would be easy for her to drift to the dark side.
Yes, I feel this way entirely about her. I find that chapter of her as a teen so heart-breaking, actually. In fact, the shift after she hears her friend lie... all of that really breaks my heart. This sweet, innocent girl, and then, she just hardens in hate.
I really feel that it shows what can happen with neglect and without being loved. I almost can't even think about the story because I find it so heart-breaking--I do that thing I do with "Willow's Way" sometimes where I just focus on a little detail, like looking for the calico cat, or thinking how cute Chompy is, or thinking about the train, all so that I don't have to actually think and feel what is really going on, which is just so painful.
