That’s been her role in the group since childhood, and here at the reunion nothing has changed. “I have such respect for you, Kelly,” Marilyn tells her at one point, “for your heart, for your ability to write, for all your knowledge and how smart you are. But there are things you do in your life . . .” Kelly is smiling, waiting . . . “. . . that I would never do in my life,” Marilyn finishes. That’s absolutely OK by Kelly. Marilyn then adds, “But I don’t judge you.” Well, in truth, the girls do judge Kelly. And they do talk about her to each other. And they do worry about her. But most of all, as Karla explains it, they do love her. Kelly has offered some details to the girls about not being completely faithful in her marriage, and about spending almost $30,000 on her divorce, much of it for a custody study and discussions concerning parenting arrangements. Since her divorce after twenty years of marriage, Kelly has had a social life that some of the other girls consider more active than they’d engage in.
