Summary of Hollis Woods

This is the last post that I will post about this book (Pictures of Hollis Woods). Since I have read the whole book. This is a summary about chapter 15-17.

Hollis has escaped from many homes before and this time she is planning to take Josie with her. Remembering her past family, the Regans, though her pictures, Hollis plans to take Josie and live in their summer house in Branches. Hollis doesn't know if it is okay for her to stay. Remembering the Regans, and how she was so close with them, remembering the Old Man, Izzy, and Steven. Remembering how they said the house in Branches was now hers, but is it still that way now that she has run away? It is a long trip, but Hollis and Josie finally arrive at the house in branches. After a while Josie gets homesick and misses her cousin Beatrice. Hollis feels that she must take Josie home. On her way to the payphone she sees a man in the distance. The man comes closer, and it turns out to be Steven Regan. Hollis is surprised and filled with joy. Steven has come to ask Hollis to come home. Hollis is happy to go back with the Regans, and calls Beatrice to come and pick up Josie. Saying goodbye was hard for Hollis, but she knew she would see Josie again. Hollis comes back home to the Regan family with a surprise of the new baby Christina. And she knows that now she has a real family that will accept her for whom she is.
