Honestly, to me the author's note had some of the most powerful statements of the whole novel. I am going to put one more quote that I feel like every parent needs to hear.
"The novelist in me is inspired by how much raising children is like writing books: You don't know where they're going until they get there. You may think you do, but you're wrong. Corralling and forcing them against their will to go where you first imagined they would isn't going to work for anyone involved. Never mind you're the one writing and raising them, they are headed in their own direction, independent of you. And scary thought that is, it's also how it should be."
