What do you think about the female characters in the book?

I love Carine and wish her brother had reached out.... she loved him, and he left her behind. That's not the way it's supposed to be.

Billie McCandless breaks my heart. As a mother, you do all you can.... and sometimes, you do it wrong. None-the-less, there is nothing worse than losing a child.

Jan is a free spirit... we should all strive to be a bit more like her.

Tracy was merely a young girl, seventeen, who fell in love with the adventurer. She was pretty typical for her age.
