Query: Tough to choose who to root for

I had a really hard time deciding who I was rooting for in this story, I felt so much pity for Kathy, yet I empathized with the Colonel and his reasons for wanting to hold onto his "cream puff deal" of a home in order to give his family a better life. What an amazing talent Mr. Dubus has to make me feel so strongly for both characters. The story is extremely thought provoking, human error results in tragedy and it is all too real. I felt really awful for the Colonel's wife, and thought it was interesting how I could sway between feeling sorry for Kathy and the Colonel, and then being so angry with them . . . my feelings were all over the place, which was a bit frustrating for me but to the authors credit this story aroused strong emotions.
