Discussion Questions - Waiting for a View (part 1)

1. Can you relate to Sherry’s resistance to change? If so, did something happen in your life that made you that way?
2. Naomi has been there for Sherry all her life, so Sherry doesn’t have the heart to ask her to stop meddling. Is there someone in your life who seems to know you better than you know yourself?

3. Why do you think Sherry has such a difficult time with the idea of moving, even though her house is falling apart around her?
4. Small children often speak their minds, and Lacy did exactly that when she called Sherry the “old maid lady,” repeating what her mother had said during one of those frazzled moments moms experience. Have you ever been the object of a child’s faux pas? How did that make you feel? Was it worse or better coming from a child?
5. What do you think is the main theme of Waiting for a View? Sub-themes?
