2-3-4 Challenge Book Discussions #2 discussion

Grayson’s brother Devin is irresponsible and arrogant. Why did he sign over custody of his son Henry to Grayson? Why would Grayson take on the responsibility of raising a child as a single man? What does it tell you about Grayson?

I saw similarities between Devin and Olivia's father, Robert. Both were so full of themselves and didn't care at all about their children. Henry was so lucky to have Grayson. Grayson is a truly good man.

Devin is a very selfish person, so it makes sense he does not want custody of this own son. I am glad Grayson is a standup guy to want to take responsibility for his brothers' boy. Henry is an outstanding character and really bought life to this story.

Raising your sibling's kids is just what you do when they drop the ball or are otherwise incapacitated. (This is within reason of course. If your siblings have 10 kids all bets are off. And it assumes you are physically and mentally able yourself). Grayson is just a good guy and he is clearly capable and even has the money to hire help. Of course, the brother appears to be capable too but is extremely selfish. I can't remember where the mother is?

I did too! Both are selfish people. Good thing Henry has someone like Grayson!

I agree except Devin knew he was selfish and did his best to get Henry a guardian who could love him and give him a good life. That is a form of love. Robert didn't see his flaws and never did anything loving for Olivia.

I agree with Sharon. Devin didn't want to be a father. But he did love Henry and knew Grayson would be good for Henry. He signed over his rights which is what a good father would do in this case.
