  Quotes - Megan'couldn't imagine a follow-on or even how you would bring it all to a close but it was perfect; open exposition of the issues and options, offering no easy answers, unpreachy, talked their language - personable characters totally without self-pity even in the bleakest moments, avoiding the ah factor or overoptimism just telling it like it is and offering hope for a real future.
