What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The plot is initiated by the death of the millionaire, but this is a past event and handled impersonally. It serves only as a plot device. The approach is entirely secular. The resolution is hopeful and satisfying. There is some mild greed and dishonesty from rival characters, but no deep moral ambiguity.
