Chapter 125 - A Change Around

Lizzie flew home certain of what she needed to do to become a good leader to the family and the changes were going to begin in her street.

The dead end road where she lived contained six houses other than her own. At one point a lot of them had contained family members, now three lay empty. Lizzie knew she might find it hard to become best friends with all of her family as at the last count there were over seventy members of the River family but she could make a real effort in her street.

The house to Lizzie's right was the abode of her twin brother, Henry and his family. Across from them were two Lutz sisters.

The Lutz family were descended from Laughing Bear River's only daughter Kainda.

In the Lutz house was the elderly Sarah-Jane and her son Clyde (who had just left school) her younger sister Donna and Donna's little girl, Kylie. Donna's husband John River lived elsewhere.

While Poldark lived alone in the Nagi's house.  Poldark Nagi was descended from Gwen (Lizzie's Grandfather's sister).

Poldark was elderly and lived alone, his only son Dwight lived across the town in a house all by himself (whilst his girlfriend and kids lived elsewhere).

Lizzie set herself the task of bringing her neighbours together and seeing if she could fill the empty houses in the street. She also now knew of at least two sets of River family children where they only lived with one of the parents even though the parents were together. She decided that this needed looking into.

She would no longer be a far off celebrity leader, now she would be available and part of her community and hopefully make a difference to the people about her.
