Mil is the best! As far as the husband goes, I’m waiting to find out what’s going on. They think this guy who showed up is a fraud, but his actions don’t make sense. ML thinks it’s someone with a grudge against him. I wouldn’t be surprised though to find out it actually is the husband, disfigured from an accident? He wasn’t exactly a great guy…..always involved in get rich schemes, wasting money with his child, wife and stepdaughters as an afterthought. Didn’t Mil worry earlier that her husband would use Ashley to sell off in marriage?
I’m dying to find out about Kyla. In one of her paintings many chapters ago, it was of the town and included the park area. I freaked the hell out because in the park area was our family when they all went there for a picnic with Leon. Kyla has been dead for a long time, yet her painting had them in it. I’m so curious about what’s going on with that.
I absolutely love her as well. She is like a tank, protecting her girls, and trying to help them all follow their dreams and not get hurt. She is intelligent, cunning and willing to put her nose to the grindstone.
I love Mil as a mother, she's very encouraging and makes room for her children's growth. She teaches important stuff that most parents overlook sometimes. I like it also how she nurtured Iris, Lily, and Ashley's mindset, best mom indeed!
But I'm quite confused about the story especially Kyla, the painting's relationship with the Vans, Mil's husband whereabouts, that stuff.
