For a year and a half they entertain each other with the stories of their lives. The unanticipated laughter and friendship at what is usually seen as a solemn time in both women’s lives takes them by surprise. While Berry makes peace with her own life, she hands over the torch of her joy and expertise in the writing process. Even after death, the elder’s optimistic influence continues cheering BJ on as the novice stumbles to find her writing voice and meet life’s challenges.
