Theme

Deception of the truth or point-blank lying is acceptable when it is done to protect the people you love. Annemarie learns this lesson after immediately realizing that her mother and uncle are both lying to her. Her uncle confessed that they did indeed lie, but that it was only to preserve her bravery. “‘ Your mama lied to you, and so did I… We did so to help you to be brave, because we love you. Will you forgive us for that?’” (58%).
