This week the main character found out that she was adopted and had a twin sister. Because of the way the plot unfolded, in that she found out for herself, it shows an underlying message of how important it is to tell the truth. When Laurie realizes this information, it takes her interests away from the family, because when you keep a secret, there's always a reason you're keeping it. Laurie uses this against her parents claiming that if they loved her equally as much as her siblings, they wouldn't struggle to tell her that she was adopted, because it wouldn't be something they would need to hide. When someone finds out the truth without hearing it from you, it take the exact opposite effect of what keeping that secret was intended to do.
Telling the truth is really important because it saves relationships, even if at the time it hurts, it's worth it in the long run. However, this book not only teaches how valuable the truth is in this section, it also shows that if there is true love present, like between Laurie and her family, it can overcome even the toughest situations.
