I thought it was kind of cute how nervous Casey was over his family coming. I just don't picture him like that so it's nice to see these sides of him. I do think it's harder than he expect to try and be happy for Pamela. He wants so bad for her to feel safe and at home, even at the risk of his own happiness. Loved the tribute of the empty chair for their fathers - very touching. The only thing I've ever seen close to that is at Passover. This did make me realize that all our main characters are motherless. I have some thoughts on this but maybe I'm way off>>>> -- Cindy's Cottage

Jamies' mom dies of cancer and he seems to be constantly fighting something just as she was her disease.
Pamela & Casey's mom's left them and they seem to be trying to run to or find something they can hold onto to give them that sense of family, together, belonging.

That certainly resonate for me, Cindy. Also, all of them are orphans and are struggling with their father's legacies: Jamie with his dad's history of depression and public service, Pat & Casey with their dad's (and his family's) service to the cause of Northern Ireland's freedom.

- I didn't pick up on that theme the first time around so on the re-read for me, that was an 'a-ha moment' for me and added more to their stories. (NT) -- Tracy, 11:09:13 07/28/09 Tue
