What was the deal with the poor family having two teenagers sharing a room and bed? It would have been highly inappropriate as sister and brother, but when you realize the parents knew they weren't related..... It seems to me that she went from one bad situation to another.
In all of the reviews no one seemed to address this glaring issue from the beginning. In fact, when the poor dad spoke about the relocation to Richmond he mentioned needing a space for the new baby! Maybe the book accounts for this. The movie plot was so sloppy all around but I found the very beginning with the two teenagers sleeping as if they were a couple was just too weird.
