Epilogue or Ending Rewrite

Choose one of the following options:
  1. What do you think happens after the book ends? Write an epilogue from Najmah or Nusrat's point of view to update us about what the character's lives are like now.
  2. Unhappy with the ending of the book? Rewrite the ending!
You don't have to use textual evidence in your response. Your post should be several paragraphs long and be written in the same style as the book.
