Talk to your kids about…
Claire describes herself as a substitute person. What does she mean? Do you believe she extends this same kind of compassion and concern to everyone she meets, or do you think Drew’s good looks may have played a part in her attentive interest?

After the fiasco, Drew concludes, “Success—not greatness—is the only God the entire world serves.” What is the difference between the two? Considering the risk involved, why would anyone try to achieve either? What things are worth working and sacrificing for?
