QUOTE : Are you going to make sense of my life as well?” Joan asked, suddenly enjoying herself enormously. “I don’t see people clearly, as you do. I spent a great part of my childhood trying to excel in order to please a man who didn’t care. But if you point out a problem, I will take care of it. I will be there for you, Joan. I will never leave you. You and your family will be the family of my heart.” Joan managed a wobbly smile. “That’s lovely,” she whispered.
