Section 3

Pages 68-98

This section of the book really hit home for me. During May of 1999, in Jacksonville, Florida, my brother and his wife separated and eventually got a divorce. This was very devastating to my family because we thought that everything was good between them but it was not. They had a one year old little girl at the time as well, which made it all even harder. To this day, things are still hard at times but we do the best that we can. I try to spend as much of my time as I can with my niece to make up for the kind of life she has been through. This connects to this section because it starts talking about how one of the students in Room 145, parents’ have just gotten divorced and how hard it is for him to get through what is going on. Cara Landry is also dealing with going through a divorce between her parents, in which she thought the whole divorce was her fault, but it ended up not being her fault at all.
