Clover-Dori Sanders

If i could ask any character a question it would be Clover and my question would be after all this that has happened how does she really feel about the situation of her father dying and why didn't she or his wife cry? If i could ask the author any question it would be how did she come about creating this book? Does this novel has anything to do with her or someone she knew/know? I chose these questions because how can you not cry at your fathers funeral maybe shes to young and didn't get to have that father, daughter bond but the way she talks about him it seems like they did. That's why i want to how does she feel about the situation and how did she feel when she seen him laying in that casket. Same thing with his newly wed wife why wasn't she crying is it because she knows that he is in a better place because if something happened to the love of my life i would be crushed. And last but not least what made the author write such a deep, heart touching realistic book. Does it kind of relate to her or someone she know? Maybe ill find out at the end of this deep novel.
