Life After You- Giavanna Jackson

Explanation:
I chose to add an extra chapter at the end of the book because I felt that I wondered where everyone would be years from now and I thought that I could add my thought nowhere they would be. I wanted the chapter to be far into the future so we could see them grow up, the careers they chose and how Milly is doing. So I chose for the chapter to be 10 years later and it would explain some things that were happening then and some things that happened over the past 10 years. The first choice I made was what Grace would have done career wise and I thought back to what Grace cares alot about. Her family. I thought she would want to help other kids find families and be loved just like her. Grace knows how messed up the foster system is so she thought she could do a little good. I also thought it could help her cope with giving up Peach a little more. The next choice I made was what would the siblings do now. I know that they would still be super close so I had Maya and Grace do something special for Joaquin and Birdie for their anniversary and they would go out to dinner with the whole family. Going out with the whole family was hard for them since there were so many of them and they had different schedules. I figured that the siblings would have married the people who they were with back in high school; Rafe,Claire and Birdie. I also chose for Maya and Claire to have a kid and name her after her two sisters.

Another scene that I thought would fit well into the storyline was Grace thinking about Peach a lot. She loves Peach so much and she knows she made the right choice but she still wonders how life could have been different. Peaches adoptive parents said that they would continue to send updates throughout her childhood so I incorporated that into the story as well. The last thing that I incorporated into the storyline was Mayas and Grace childish relationship. Maya was always very talkative and that would get on Grace nerves. They like to tease each other so I thought it would feel right if Grace did something and it made Maya flip out and get here back.

The biggest choice I made was who I chose the chapter to be about. I thought that Grace would be the best choice since we could talk about Peach and we could talk about her siblings lives through her and ultimately she is the main character.
