Ellen Foster Second Response

Well, Ellen has moved out of her fathers house for good! The only problem now is finding a suitable home for her and someone who is willing to take care of her. She was able to take refuge with her art teacher for a while, but the courts seem to think that Ellen need to be with family. So instead of sending her back to her fathers, the courts decide to send her to her grandmothers house. This lifestyle is much different than she is used to, but she gets used to it and is able to live happy away from her father.

What I don't get is how someone can move so much just to avoid one person. I know people who have moved around a lot, but that was due to work or financial problems. This little girl will do anything and go to anyone just to try and stay away from her father. I'd like to see what happens when she gets old enough to leave and go out on her own. Will she even look back or will she try and fix things with her dad? The book is good and well written, but the story line is a little hard to follow sometimes.
