Generally, crises were mom's domain. Dad's job was to listen, nod, act curmudgeonly, and offer to pay for things

In Lisa Wingate's novels, the roles of mothers and fathers are often portrayed in a traditional light. The quote "Generally, crises were mom's domain. Dad's job was to listen, nod, act curmudgeonly, and offer to pay for things" encapsulates this dynamic perfectly. Wingate's stories often feature strong, nurturing mothers who take charge in times of crisis, while fathers play a more passive role, offering support and financial assistance.
