- Cissy has fallen in love many times—do you believe her love for Dirk is different? Why?
- Emma and Adam both agree to a marriage of convenience to save people they care about. Do you think this was a wise choice on their part, or could their goals have been accomplished in another way?

- How do Emma’s dreams change over time?
- Although Emma and Cissy had the same upbringing, they are very different. Why do you think they have such different personalities?

- Do you think Adam was right to keep secrets from Emma, or should he have told her everything from the start?
