Kirstin Valdez Quade Quote: “Why does she do this? Rankle against her father, resent him for not caring, for never being who she wants him to be – and then when he does do something kind and fatherly, something that another, better father would do for another, better daughter, her happiness is too bountiful to bear, the pleasure intolerable.
