Chapter 26: Publish the Book
The people swarm the desk along with the paparazzi as Haymitch and Peeta and I sign copy after copy. It is the published version of our collective memoirs, for the longest time just codenamed "The Book." It details all our lives as well as Cassiope's, from notes and manuscripts she left behind to Haymitch after her death.
The Book becomes a best seller and is used throughout schools as historical curriculum. With the book deals, Peeta and I are able to live in 12 in comfort and raise our family.
I watch my children, with Effie and Haymitch by my side, play with their father in the Meadow. I nurse my youngest, and as I smile at the wonderful life I've earned, I have to remember that there are much worse Games to play.
