As Tara and Julie take lan along on their walk to the park, Julie describes how lan acts differently from most people, ...Admirably patient with lan, Julie nevertheless grows angry with his seemingly stubborn ways. Yet her close observations of her brother serve her well when lan wanders away....Through its simple plot, the story conveys a complex family relationship and demonstrates the ambivalent emotions Julie Feels about her autistic brother.
