Why didn't they tell her they wouldn't be coming back? Why were they silent all summer? But stuff like that happens. But her best friends aren't AT school when she gets there. Still, she's content to go back to school, do her best, hang out with her friends, and let others take care of things. Her mother doesn't show the slightest bit of interest, no matter what Esther does. Esther is a middle child, in her own mind a pale reflection of siblings who are bright, shining stars.
