The female characters of Redwood are all flawed, but their love for their children knows no boundaries. It is this love that drives them to commit lies and keep secrets in order to protect their children. Louise is complicit in creating the lies that surround her past, present, and future. In her mind and in her heart the lies are justified for the lies are protecting those she loves. The lies are never meant to harm or injure anyone. And so, readers will be left wondering did she go too far? Are Louise’s lies the greatest sin she is guilty of committing? Are Louise’s lies justified for she was committed to protecting her family? Will readers find empathy for Louise and forgive her for the secrets she kept? Will readers forgive her for the lies?
