1. Which of Edward Dalton's nieces would you like to have for your sister?

2. Which of the sisters' lives would you most like to have...knowing you could make it better?

3. Why do you think Carleen really stayed away from her sisters for so long? Why did Babe?

4. Have you ever "forgotten" to show a trinket, a bauble --- something decadent --- you purchased to your husband? If you showed him, were you honest about the price?

5. Like Ellie, have you ever tucked a dream away in a small box in a closet?

6. If you were Edward, would you have wandered off?

7. Name one secret you never told your sister, brother, mother, or father. Surely there at least is one!
