The hurt stabs you like a million knives, and the shock paralyzes you, until the world starts to turn faster than you can manage. How can they? Is all you can think, over and over. You thought you could trust them, depend on them. Why should they be able to turn around and do this to you? To be betrayed hurts just as much as broken legs and arms, but guaranteed everyone will experience it in their lifetime.
This novel present us with many forms of betrayal. Some are little, and some are life-changing. Everyone knows how it feels to be lied to, and everyone knows how it feels to lie. Amplify that by a great deal and it becomes betrayal. Little Francie lived in pure pleasure growing up, unaware that the life around her was more ruthless then it seemed. In fact right in her very own home was someone who had betrayed her, and betrayed her to the fullest extent.
Francie’s mother Katie, was that person. Francie was born sickly baby, and Katie promised her that she would make her live, and care for her always. Things changed after Neeley was born, when Katie confided in him out loud that she would love him more than Johnny and Francie, but she wouldn’t let them know. Even though no one knew of this, The betrayal hung heavy on Katie’s shoulders, and has always stayed with Francie, dragging her down like a heavy winter jacket. To rank loved ones in one’s heart is unfair, for it provides affection and love for some, and brutal feelings for others.
Betrayal should not be accepted, no matter how low of a person one may be. Disloyalty does not just hurt just one person, it hurts many, including ourselves. No matter what we may believe is wrong, and what is right, betrayal will keep happening to all of us, for the rest of our life.
