Lovely sequel. The section where Sam is afraid of his father when John picks up the scissors is so telling. Sam sees anger, whereas John is clearly horrified, and working hard to calm him. At 13, Sam can only see the conflict, not what drives John, or even how to read him. Beautifully portrayed, and I ache for both.
