Helen has a terrible track record with men, and at first the death of her father barely fazes her. But as the story unfolds, she develops closer relationships with a few different people and learns a lot about them and herself in the process.

SPOILERS I was particularly touched by the scene where Helen gives Tom the paint set. It was such a thoughtful, special thing to do.

The domestic abuse situation was horrifying and so realistic that it actually made me feel sick.
