Tuck Everlasting Winnie's feelings and motivations concerning the Tucks.

Winnie is a ten year old girl and the only child of Mr. and Mrs. Foster. Her family owns the biggest house in Treegap and the woods behind their house as well. The family never ventures into the woods and she is always told to stay within the fence, or in the house. She is over-protected by her mother and grandmother and dreams of running away. When she decides to leave the sanctuary of her home, she is kidnapped and taken on an adventure. She is sure her kidnappers are crazy, but she grows to love them. After being returned to her family, she makes one last attempt to help them out of their predicament and helping them to escape. One son, Jesse, has asked her to join him and see the world, but Winnie knows that seeing the world is only second best to living. In the end, she chooses life and dies at the age of 78.
