But what does he know about a girl’s teenage angst? And why has she become so distant? He has no idea how to be father and mother at the same time. So when his daughter confesses that she’s found her birth mother, Evan is devastated. He already lost his wife, the love of his life, he couldn’t bear to lose his daughter too. |
