Theme: Friendship, Loving others, Being sensitive
[edit] Summary
Connie comes back from Washington D.C. after being so close to marrying Mitch, the funny thing is, she's the only one who isn't heartbroken.
[edit] Plot
After much time on a road trip with Joanne, Connie Kendall finally returns home to Odyssey. June (Connie's mom) picks her up at the airport and assumes that Connie has brought back a lot of emotional baggage from Washington (see Something Blue).
Whit also treats Connie with "kid gloves." Though she tries to get back into her normal routine at Whit’s End, Connie becomes an outsider to Whit and others who think she’s too emotionally unstable. Jared and Trent go even further with the charade. With his "expertise" in counseling, Jared takes every opportunity to give Connie "a little shove down the playground slide of grief."
Once she endures sentimental movies with her mom, ink-blot tests from Jared, and other ways to deal with repressed feelings, Connie has had enough. She asks her mom and friends to treat her like a real person again. Alone with Whit, Connie shares that God helped her with her loss in Washington...and His love is much greater.
[edit] Discussion Questions
- In the beginning, did Whit and the others really show Connie that they cared about her?
- How has Connie changed since she left on her road trip? How is she the same?
- When you feel bad or have a hard day, do you ask God to help you?
