The reason Clare disregards her father?

She is distraught when Clare discovers her brother Lucas has welcomed their violent father back into his life.

Lucas maintains that their father has changed, is now sober, and has prevented their family’s house foreclosure.

On the other hand, Clare still has trouble forgiving him for the physical and mental violence he put on their mother.

In addition, their father now owns the house that meant so much to them, making matters worse. In flashbacks, we witness Frankie, Clare’s mother, dying of cancer and being treated at a hospital.

Clare frantically looks for Lucas so they may say their mother’s dying farewell together. But by the time they go to the hospital, their mother has already died, so it’s too late.

She is bitter that she didn’t get a chance to say goodbye and holds Lucas responsible for it, causing a persistent breach between them.

Clare, recalling the loss of her mother and the time she spent with Lucas scattering her ashes, counsels the Dear Sugar emailer always to put love first. She reconnects with Rae and mends their connection by taking her to a pasture of horses in the present.

In a poignant scenario, Clare eventually manages to let go of her past regrets and go on with her life as she dreams of saying goodbye to her mother. Clare can begin a new chapter thanks to her literary success and their budding romance.
