Changes for Addy

The final book in the series has Addy and her parents still looking for three members of their family and preparing to give a speech at the Church. Addy searches wherever she can and finds out that a letter she had written was answered, noting that her youngest sister and her Aunt and Uncle were at a center but had left, heading for Philadelphia.

Addy ends up visiting one person she met in the hospital while checking to see if her relatives were there and one night leaves somewhat later than she planned, but the timing ends up being perfect as she spots her Aunt and her younger sister.

Not everything is happy, though, as she finds out her Uncle had died during their trip up from the South and her Aunt is extremely frail herself. Sam had lost an arm during the war but at least most of her family is back together.

The historical section of the book has some more good information on the discrimination and prejudice against black people in the U.S.. A good conclusion to the series and a lot of good historical information in the series.
