Funny how the mind works, searching for that happy ending that must be there somewhere, but slowly, bread crumb by bread crumb, is taken out of the readers grasp. Then the fight is over and there is no daily struggle that June has to face, no more humiliation to endure. But now we the readers of this horribly good story must accept what we cannot have. I think we, most of us any way, go thru life hoping repeatedly for that happy ending, that perfection we want to believe will be there because we are entitled to it. Then we must go through the pain of reconciling our expectations against the random "slings and arrows" cast against us.
