Jack Gralewski | 3 comments Jack- "I thought it was really sad how the mom died." I can't believe how it went down, The daughter, boyfriend, and other friend were in the hut and a gunman was outside saying he was gonna come in and shoot everyone if they didn't tell him where another guy was. The boyfriends plan was that he was going to cut the gunman's head off when he came through the door with a machete, but the gunman was holding the mother hostage right in front of him so when the boyfriend saw a body step into the room he took his shot and ended up slitting the mothers throat.

I feel most bad for the daughter because now everyone in her family was gone/dead. Her father was slaughtered by the police, her baby brother Tino was taken by the police, and her mother was murdered on accident. I don't know how I would handle this if it happened to me.

The daughter decided that grieving wasn't going to help at all so she decided to try and move on with her life. She housed with some family friends and started to work on the coffee fields. She is a strong character and I expect her to do some amazing things in the book.
