MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

Who else, besides Laura, believes in Maurice?

his mom

his dad

Laura's sister

Maurice's teacher

Answer explanation

Maurice’s teacher was perhaps the only other person who believed in him, and she made Laura take a long hard look at what she was doing. Was she helping Maurice just as a way of helping herself? Could she commit to being there for Maurice even when she didn’t feel like it? What kind of damage might it cause Maurice if she were to abandon him after becoming so important to him? Laura thought it through, and came to a decision.

The result of their work, An Invisible Thread,reached number one on the New York Times best sellers list
