Author's Note: In these upcoming paragraphs you will read, are about cause and effects of the book, "Pictures of Hollis Woods". I really recommend this book.
Hollis had very hard times. Being alone when you’re very little is hard. She was in foster care her whole life. Whenever Hollis was put into a different home, she would run away. Hollis thinks that she will never have a family, until one house came, and she loved it.
The bond between Josie, the foster parent, and Hollis was extraordinary. She didn’t want to leave her. She began to be more comfortable around Josie and decided not to run away.
The whole cause in this story was the fact that every house Hollis was put in, she had ran away from. She didn’t feel welcome into their homes. Hollis had a past with a family of three, Steven, Old man, and Izzy. Hollis’s foster worker wanted to put her in a different, permanent, home. She began to pack everything up and decided to leave, but this time, she brought Josie with her. Hollis took Josie to her old foster family’s summer house.
How this effects the story, is that Josie gets homesick and must go back home. Hollis knew she had to take Josie back. Hollis called Josie’s cousin to come and pick her up, she did. Hollis knew it would be hard saying goodbye. She then saw a little boy, it was Steven. he invited Hollis to come live with them. Hollis knew she would see Josie again. She started living with the old family again. Hollis was finally accepted for who she is. She finally felt accepted and welcomed.
