Choice

Daughter's eyes were wide. A sixteen-year-old claiming her own destiny so thoroughly was alien to her modern sensibility. In her family and in families around them, girls remained so until they were mothers in their own right and even then there was always that feeling of generational division, and women were just now coming to realize that if a man raised his hand to them, they didn't have to stay and take it and make things better. But this did explain quite a bit about mother and her constant pushing at daughter to do something more with her life Never settle for someone just because he doesn't remind you of your father was mother's favorite mantra.
