Mary Grace's exit from California

Post by NicRoy »

After the experiences Donny and Mary Grace had, do you think they would be leave California upon their parents' return from Africa? Do you feel, based on the conclusion, the two would be happier/comfortable living with their grandparents? Did the experiences make the two siblings have a change of heart towards California?

They would be really reluctant after staying there for 2 years. And if they wish then maybe their parents would let them stay there for a while longer. And eventually they'll all go back to California.
Mary Grace did have a change of heart and Donny was already happy to have a new school and many new friends.

I think Donny and Mary Grace will want to stay in California since meeting the Grandma Gang and making so many new friends. When their parents return from Kenya, they will probably face the same problems as when they were leaving Kansas. They won't want to move away from their grandparents, their school, and their friends.

I believe that they would try to convince their parents to stay in California, maybe not living in their grandparent's house but somewhere nearby so that they don't lose contact with all their new friends and new school.

Definitely! They will be reluctant to move from California and their grandparents. But they will not be ready to stay without their parents either. So yes it will be a difficult and emotional experience for them.
