Jones presents her ideas with remarkable concern for the sensitivity of readers.
One commendable feature is the departure from gender stereotyping. Jones wisely places Heather in the role of maturation.
Emotional and childish characteristics that might convey an offensive image of women are attached instead to Robert. Jones also takes care to equalize the roles of each gender. Heather could not have developed her mature, compassionate outlook with out her contact with Robert's excesses and tragic past.
Some readers, their parents, or concerned adults may wish to be aware that Robert's legendary past includes terrible mistreatment by family members. The event is handled, however, with the sensitivity Jones typically displays in her stories. The impact of bitter betrayal and gruesome death is softened by an absence of graphic portrayal.
