Edited: "What happened to the mother"! A question many don't know in their lives (ie) if they never met their mother. But questioning what ‘happened’ to someone goes a lot deeper. It can mean many things (such as what happened IN someone’s life, as well as what happened to them in other ways). What she discovered about her father wasn't what she hoped. His 'gift' was to offload the burden of what he did onto poor Annie. It's an amazing story, very well crafted. Sorry, I edited this by posting a new comment (my previous one went a bit off track!). It was too early in the morning for me! :)☺️
