lost angel summary from ch.38 till the end!

FINALLY BACK!


helllo everyone!
i've spent my time during the spring break reading the novel.well, i have to say the story has hidden many surprising events which created an atmosphere of excitement, anticipation,passion and sympathy...
  Starting with billy, the spark of a disaster ellen faces, we find him the boy in the story who contradicted his physical appearance.although billy was handsome from the outside, there was another character from the inside,that of a despicable wretch! and here, we find his good-looking appearance a set up for ellen to be decieved by and get herself into a terrible misconception.
  ellen got herself pregnant from billy, her PRINCE CHARMING, on her sixteenth birthday.she later felt contemptible towards herself and billy who then seemed as no one but a senseless teenager who played with her emotions.of course, what ellen had perpetrated was wrong, but becomes later a turning point in her life.(let's find out!)
 as the story carries on, ellen's acknowledgement is finally revealed when gertie appears and with her the solution to all the recent problems the stone family has been facing lately. she offered a lodging, support and a new job (plant nursery) in a small village outside london. shocked by her daughter, hilda didn't have any other choice but to accept gertie's offer and move away from london which got her only misfortune.
 after hearing the news, mabel was obliged to offer supporting ellen and her baby, but percy came up with the ideal solution and offered to marry ellen. wouldn't it be better for ellen to marry billy since he was the child's father?? well yes, but unfortunately billy got himself into trouble and was obliged to marry sheila.
 percy, the charcter who didn't seem much handsome yet gentle and lovable, insisted to marry ellen(feeling guilty for letting billy walk ellen home and find the perfect time to commit his shameless action) , although his parents totally rejected the idea, as ellen was the girl of his dreams. percy married ellen but under one condition: that billy must never know that he's the child's father.
 the family finally moved to a new cottage which created a new life with a new relief. a new character is introduced as a new neighbor whom hilda met called Valerie. Valerie seemed gregarious yet a bit odd with respect to hilda. she always got those peculiar feelings of hers.anyways, ellen and val were both pregnant, as ellen was going to give birth in august.the two women were very close friends who visited each other constantly. 
 after marrying percy, ellen always feared and worried that she might never love her husband, as she only liked him and not more than that, although percy was the "perfect" lovable and caring husband. when ellen gave birth to a baby girl whom she called "sarah", we find how an affectionate father percy was towards the new baby, although she wasn't his daughter.
ellen loved sarah and finally came to love percy as well after, billy, sheila,their son and billy's parents payed them a visit. during their visit, we see how selfish, arrogant, rude and senseless billy was towards sheila.therefore, billy's marriage was an advantage for ellen, as her outlook  towards percy  changed and  it was a privilege for her to marry him.
  although ellen loved percy, what billy did years back created a feeling of unwillingness for lovemaking in her which lasted and built a brrier btw ellen and percy. thanks to hilda, this partition didn't last much as she was the person ellen resorted to ( a demeanor ellen must have used way back earlier )
 after a year of sarah's birth, many things changed. ellen finally applied her mother's advice ( as she didn't want to lose her husband) and lived in a house of her own,breaking the fence btw. prcy and her .knowing previously that gertie is actually fond of  women, rumors about her and her new lover maureen , have pervaded the village, and so ellen grew worried for her husband and parents who worked for gertie, and may lose their jobs.
 ellen feared that gerite may be kicked out of town, so she went with sarah to warn her. on her way, the most tragic event of the story takes place: ellen loses her daughter when being hit by a truck!(an event which caused the town to forget about gertie and focus on sarah's death)the poor ellen sank into a sea of depression,anguish,sorrow,pain,regret and morose. she was filled with melancholy and affliction as she wished she were dead, blaming herself for her daughter's loss. ellen rejected seeing val, knowing previously that val had a feeling of sarah not being able to go to school.val delivered her baby a week after ellen did and called her pauline. she was now pregnant again for six months.
 time passed,and ellen started to get over this awful accident and visited sarah's grave with percy weekly replacing old flowers on her grave with new ones. knowing whether there's an afterlife or not became an obsession to ellen who saught the answer in a church and then in a spiritual church but never found it until a woman saw her and gave ellen her card to visit her.when ellen did, the woman read her palm and told her that she'll find peace in nature and that the answer to all her problems will be found close to her home. ellen found the woman's response a bit peculiar yet she didn't give up.she was told that she'll find goodluck and happiness and so she kept that in mind..
as the story continues, ellen finally brings happy news to her parents and tells them that they're having a grandchild whose father this time would be percy not billy. ellen realised that she mistreated her lovable friend, and so, decided to pay val a visit and put the past behind her.anyways ellen visited her old affable friend to make her happy with the recent news.feared to break ellen's heart with getting pauline to play in front of her, val wasn't sure until ellen assured val that it was actually fine with her. val got pauline and her new baby, robert, to play in front of them. while sitting and chatting with each other, the two women were disturbed by pauline's behavior when she asked her mom to get tea for her and erra (sarah). ellen was astonished and couldn't actually believe that her daughter was present.ellen finally found the solution to her concern and saw a butterfly which she thought was sarah and knew that after life, lies another life where her daughter lived happily....


 the story LOST ANGEL  has taught us many aspects of life as kitty tried to deliver her message to every reader and persuade us that now matter how harsh our lives be, we should never give up hope. ellen and hilda represent two characters who faced many difficulties and obstacles, yet HOPE was their way to happiness and peace. moreover , i learned that people are judged from their internal appearance not their physical one. many grand lessons were delivered by neal, as she successfully kept us suspenseful throughout the story wanting to know what will happen to ellen, how will percy treat sarah, what did val's feelings point to, will billy find out the truth about his daughter and whether there was an afterlife or not.
 i really enjoyed reading the story!
thank you mrs shabana ^_^
