The children can't wait to get out of Welch and after being inspired to pursue a life in New York they start earning money and compiling their savings to go toward their trip so that Lori can leave as soon as she graduates. One day Jeanette sees that all of the money has been stolen by her father but they don't let this stop them. They work harder to get money and soon Lori is on her way to New York. Instead of waiting until she graduates, Jeanette leaves her junior year for New York and moves in with Lori. Eventually she gets a job with a newspaper and then goes to Bernard to get a degree. Brian comes and joins the police force and Maureen comes to finish school and lives with Lori. Finally, Mom and Dad come to New York too. The whole family is back together again. I can't imagine what thoughts go through Jeanette's mind. She tries so hard to get away from her past and now her parents have come to "make the family whole again." As life goes on Jeanette graduates, Maureen moves to California, and Dad dies of a heart attack after being sick for a while. At least for Jeanette all of the ends met and her life turned out to be everything that she hoped it would be.
