☆The Girl at the Window

I read "The Girl at the Window" written by Antoinette Moses.

I think the story is sad for Grace but it is happy for Sue and Sammy.

Grace's baby was taken in 1815 and her boyfriend, Tommy didn't come back from war.

In 2001, she is a picture now, but she is waiting for Tommy and their baby, Mary for a very long time.

Sue and Sammy come to Grace's house in 2001. Grace gets to like Sammy because she is a beautiful baby girl like Mary. Sammy also likes Grace because she can hear Grace's voice. Sue and Grace don't like each other so Sue takes Sammy to her room.

One day, there is a fire in the house. Sammy is in Grace's room so Sue can't help her. However, Grace helps Sammy and Sue is helped by firemen. In the end, the house is destroyed by a fire but Grace can meet Tommy and Mary again.

I don't know why Mary was taken but it is too sad for Grace. I know her mind that she is waiting for Mary but I don't think it is good to take Sammy from Sue. I think Tommy died in the war and Mary died before 2001 so Grace meets them in heaven. Sue injures a little because of the fire but Sammy is fine and doesn't injure. So I think it is a happy ending story and I like it:)
