I just finished reading The Center of the World. I loved it! It was the first book I've read in a long time that I couldn't put down. However, I was really disappointed that you chose to end the book the way you did. I wanted to know what happened to everyone. Did Kate & Sophia stay in Guatamala? If so, what happened to Sam? Why did you choose to end the book this way? I look forward to your answer.
