In this sequel to their story, Katniss and Peeta must navigate the joys and struggles of raising their young children, Willow and Rye, who are now growing up under the constant scrutiny of the world. Willow, 7, is a quiet, shy girl who loves art and baking, while Rye, 5, is an adventurous boy with a love for exploring the woods. The couple faces new challenges of managing their children's upbringing in a world that's still fascinated by their past, but they are determined to give Willow and Rye a peaceful childhood. With both children showing signs of intelligence and creativity, Katniss and Peeta find themselves adjusting their parenting strategies, trying to balance the delicate act of shielding them from their past while allowing them to flourish in their own ways.
As the children grow older, they learn to manage their new lives, facing the pressures of their parents' fame, making friends, and developing their unique personalities. Will Willow become more confident? Will Rye's adventures take him further than the woods behind their home? And how will Katniss and Peeta face the inevitable questions about their past when the children begin to ask?
Through laughter, love, and the occasional challenge, Katniss and Peeta continue their journey of parenthood, all while protecting their children from the harshness of the world around them.
"Her name is Willow. Take her. I don't want her." After the rebellion, Katniss barely goes outside. She depends on Greasy Sae to look after her and can't interact with anyone else, not even Peeta. Then a baby is left on her doorstep. With no-one to look after it but herself and Peeta, the responsibility of caring for a child might just be what brings them together again.
