Toni is safe; Amalie is safe. Toni is vaguely and broadly attuned to economic inequity, but her primary concern is her own rental status in this part of her town. In a world so compromised and unjust and unfair, how do people justify wanting even greater security and safety?
One day, Amalie goes out by herself for the first time and returns with a telescope, given to her by a man who lives nearby. Toni's reluctance to let Amalie go out alone and her new curiosity about the world feel like an impending disaster to her mother.
To every parent, your child is the most endangered, regardless of class or race or status. Toni knows that Amalie's father has spared himself this struggle; his focus is not on a dependent.
