We were never told what happen to camilla and geabono i know he was adopted after that no more about him. I never say never, Angelica, but I'm not planning to. The characters are a fictional family. It would be extremely unrealistic for this many siblings to be reunited, so I didn't resolve the fate of every child. I'm leaving it to the mind of the reade See Full Answer

Quotes by Lisa Wingate (?)

“Your children are the greatest gift God will give to you, and their souls the heaviest responsibility He will place in your hands. Take time with them, teach them to have faith in God. Be a person in whom they can have faith. When you are old, nothing else you've done will have mattered as much.”
