I used to judge the mom in our last book pick all wrong

In 'The Quiet Year', I saw the mother as cold for sending her kid away. Our book club had a big talk about her choices last meeting. A friend mentioned how her own mom did something similar during a tough patch. She brought up the part where the mom works double shifts to pay for school. That detail made me notice the sacrifice, not the distance. Now I feel she was doing her best with what she had. It really shifted how I read the whole story.
