Gee, I thought I was being pretty hard on Frenesi.  I wrote:  "She chooses
the feel-good route, chasing the false hope of some kind of escape or
liberation, life on her terms instead of on life's terms, and leaves her
past behind. She shows loyalty and allegience only to herself -- she
abandons her child, after all, a cardinal sin for a female character and
not so pretty in real life either for any parent to abandon a child even
when you can see the mitigating factors --  misguided though she may be in
her choice of means to produce the ends she seeks."

If you think that's a defense, maybe I will share some of my negative
criticism with you.
