Lily's desire to live in the old days reflects the challenges she faces as a sixth grader in a contemporary and fractured family environment.
Children's imaginative worlds often stem from personal struggles, as seen through Lily's journal, which becomes a refuge amidst her parents' divorce.
As a writer, I embrace both planning and improvisation, allowing characters like Lily to guide the narrative, revealing her connections to classic fairy tales.
The dynamic between parents and their children can complicate understanding; Lily's parents struggle to grasp her creative expressions during their family crisis.
