第十章讲述了朱莉看望叔叔后她更加理解了父母的艰难处境，尤其是朱莉听到布莱斯和同学的对话，同学对朱莉的家庭和朱莉的行为极尽诋毁后，朱莉切身体会了父亲所经历过的事情，内心也开始变得愈加坚定与美好。
在去探视大卫的路上，朱莉说：“我不知道为什么，爸爸总是独自一人去看叔叔。”这次，她决定跟爸爸一起去。在路上，父女俩人几乎没说任何话，可不知道为什么，她觉得此时的沉默比言语更能拉近彼此之间的距离。
朱莉和爸爸一起去探望过她的叔叔之后，她更加理解了家人的善良，内心也开始变得愈加坚定与美好
可能这就是善良的力量吧！内心深处的善良，总能在人遇到困难时，将心紧紧地联系在一起，而坚强则会赋予人以巨大的力量，最终去战胜困难。
我印象深刻的一个精彩片段，大卫吃冰淇淋时有突发状况，返程路上父亲像朱莉讲述了很多背后的故事。如果你看过同名电影，也会记住扮演大卫的演员，演技真的超精湛，让你会误以为他本身是一个智障者。
精彩摘录：
I was getting myself pretty worked up about it when David's cone crushed in his grip, causing his ice cream to flop onto the table.Before my dad could stop him,David picked up the ice cream and tried to cram it back onto the cone.But the cone was shattered and the ice cream fell over again, only this time it landed on the floor.
He grabbed the ice cream and crammed it back onto what was left of his cone, and when the bottom part of his cone crumbled completely away, he started screaming.It was awful. He was like a two-hundred-pound infant,throwing a tantrum on the floor He was yelling words I coundn't understand, and after a minute of trying to calm him down, my father said,"Julianna,can you get him another cone?"
the man behind the counter scooped as fast as he could, but in that short time David knocked over a table and two chairs with his flailing and maneged to smear chocolate everywhere.
