...Please, please help!? I'm nearing the end of my novel and i can't think of a plot twist. I want one that'll make the reader totally shocked. Can you suggest some ideas? Plot:
At 17 Calli has had less than the ideal life. Ever since her prostitute mother brought home her first sister at age 3 the kids and the house have been her responsibility, protecting her siblings from her mother's highly abusive fits of rage fueled by alcoholism and drug addiction. Now her mother is gone; spontaneously left town with out even leaving a note, and left Calli to take care of her 7 brothers and sisters ranging in ages from 2 to 14. She begins taking the legal procedures to adopt her siblings as her own children and fight her mother in court for them. But what happens if she doesn't win? Will they end up in foster care, split up? Or worse, back with her mother?
Her deep romance with Ethan is intertwined throughout the book. The book is told with flashbacks of her childhood shuffled in between her present day life.
A little bit about her and her siblings:
To Calli, her siblings are everything to her. Ethan proposes to her towards the end of the story. Calli wins the court case and is granted full and permanent custody of her siblings. Her father left her when she was 4.Her siblings are ages 3, 6, 8, 9, 11, 13, 14, and 16. Her mother ran off with her boyfriend. I think that's all the info you guys should need.
Oh, and I don't want the twist to alter her relationship with Ethan. Thank you so much to all the answerers! The person who comes up with the best/most creative,surprising idea will get 10 points!
