She does what is expected of her and will go into the convent in five months despite her interest in medicine.
It’s clear that Willa doesn’t have a strong relationship with her parents or any of her brothers besides Paddy.
Willa was a strong female character who had become the obedient daughter since an accident some years prior to the book starting.
Seeing that struggle was what gave this book the complexity and Trueblood did an amazing job of showing it. Willa’s determination to study medicine despite not having any support from her family and it wasn’t a profession women normally went into, was admirable. Her family was grieving and no one knew how to deal with it. It was unfortunate how her parents and older brothers-except Paddy-dictated her life and how she had been dealing with guilt for years over an accident that caused a tragedy she never meant to happen. This book gave me all the feels and I connected with Willa from the first pages. This book was filled with so much depth, feelings, and heavy subjects that I was not expecting.
