What a marvelous story! Peg, I didn't find what you had to say at all unclear. I understood it perfectly, and I've had the same problems with "The Giving Tree" as you have ever since my college used it as part of the "Caring Curriculum" in its nursing program. I'm going to suggest "The Quiltmaker's Gift to them as an alternative. Might I have permission to point them to your LiveJournal as a clear explanation as to why I'm making the suggestion?
