The Story So Far

Hey guys! So, with so many parts of the story I wanted to make a quick recap for all you new readers! While reading the whole story will give the best perspective, here's a recap of the life and times of the Armstrong family up to today... 

Kate Armstrong, our matriarch, moved to Willow Creek and quickly hit it off with Liberty Lee and Summer Holiday, becoming a best friend trio and spending lots of time together 

Her aspiration to become a writer led her into the writer career, where she met Salim Benali 

The couple hit it off, they date, and eventually they even get married! 

The couple live happily together, where they both follow their dreams and publish books, climb the career ladder and have three beautiful children 

Leia Benali Armstrong 

Mateo Benali Armstrong

And Josette Benali Armstrong

Josette was adopted and got to know her birth mother, Jolene Timothy, as she got older 

The three siblings enjoy their childhood together. They bond, they play, they have a generally amazing childhood with two amazing parents

As their parents grow older they spend more time with their family, having day trips and dinners out, enjoying the sun and the snow and everything in between 

Here we see Leia (teen), Mateo (middle, right) and Josette (end, right), sat with Liberty Lee and Gavin Reeve's twin boys Thomas and Tobias, and Summer Holiday's daughter Winter 

As all good things, the amazing life of Kate and Salim Benali Armstrong comes to a sad end - first, Salim passes away 

And soon after, Kate Benali Armstrong, our matriarch, passes away and joins her husband 

And with that we enter the second generation, led by Leia, Mateo and Josette... So, let's show you what happened next... 

Let's begin with Leia... 

After a short break while she cared for her still-teen sister following the death of her parents, Leia and Harry Muse finally tie the knot! 

The couple also have two children

A son, named Armstrong Muse 

And a daughter, Soleil Muse 

The family of four lived an amazing life together, before Leia and Harry sadly pass away 

                     

                     

What an amazing life Leia Muse lived! She is sadly missed 

Next, let's see what happened in her little brother's life... 

Mateo Armstrong got married to Hope 

And the couple have a daughter, who they name Katherine, after her grandmother 

Mateo loves fishing, thanks to his Father, and spends time with his wife and daughter fishing on various occasions 

                     

And finally, Josette Armstrong... Josette got engaged to Moses Villareal at her baby shower

The couple have a son, who they name Noah Villareal

                            

The couple begin talking about another baby, but they never get a chance, as Moses is accidentally poisoned by a bad order of fish! 

Josette is sad, and it takes some time for her to recover from her loss

When she does, she decides to follow her and Moses' original plan of adopting a baby; Josette herself was adopted, and she wants to give another child the chance at a life like hers, with visitations with their birth parents and two families who love them 

After a few adoption meetings, Josette brings home her new child... 

Penelope Jolene Armstrong (named after her birth mother, Jolene) 

                       

Josette lives happily with her two children, and eventually attends a grief counselling group after the death of Jolene 

There, she catches up with Stefan Hunn, the second contender for her heart as a teen 

Already with a moderate romantic relationship between them, the two quickly hit it off and, deciding not to live another moment without each other, Stefan and Josette get married in a surprise ceremony! 

And that catches you up with generation two of the Armstrong family! Instead of catching you up on the third generation too, I can say that if you read from around Part 130 you will be able to see some of these later moments, and can then follow on from the third generation! 

I hope this helped you catch up with the story, and be able to read on from later in the story without too many issues understanding! 

Please let me know if you have any other questions you'd like answered - I'd also recommend reading part 100 and the interview with the author that I wrote before that! 

Thanks guys!
