Tara wants to adjust and fit into her new life Tara is lost and alone, unsure whether branching out and pursuing her new life will require her to completely give up her current one that's based religiously .
Tara had asked the professeur what the holocaust was, and everyone thought she was playing a joke. on page 157 its says" there was silence. Not a hush, not a muting of noise, but utter, almost violent silence". This occured after the incident.
Her instructors and peers find it unfathomable that she could be ignorant about the Holocaust; they assume she must be cruelly joking and never consider the possibility that she is only uninformed.
Tara resolves to call home in order to talk to someone about her difficulties at BYU. Dad responds, and Tara is shocked to hear herself telling him how difficult things are. On page 165 it states "... I imagined Dad's stern face hardening. I waited for the jab I imagined he was preparing, but instead a quiet voice said, "It'll be okay, honey". THis surprises Tara she cherishes her Dads sympathy.
Dad sets aside his own personal convictions in a rare act of generosity and empathy to provide his daughter with some emotional assistance. Even if they are few and infrequent, these odd moments of love and connection will be sufficient to keep Tara returning to Buck's Peak.
