Describe what happens at the end of the novel

Based on the novel that I have studied, Catch Us if You Can by Catherine
MacPhail, at the end of this novel, Rory had a great shock in his life when he
thought that his grandfather was dead before he at last met his biological father
and together with his grandfather, they both reconciled with Jeff McIntosh, Rory’s
father, his stepmother and his two sisters. Rory then had a happy time with his
new found family.

father, his stepmother and his two sisters. Rory then had a happy time with his
new found family.
Rory spent the next few days with his new found family while at times
visiting his grandfather who was recovering at the hospital. His father’s wife,
Karen was kind as she came and asked Rory to go and stay with them while
Granda was hospitalised. He also found out that he got two little sisters, Rhonda 5,
and Ava, 3. Granda loved the granddaughters soon as he saw them even though
he was still mad at his son.
Rory’s dad was an apologetic man. He asked for forgiveness from Rory
and Granda every now and then. He was sorry about leaving his son away with
his father because he could not accept the insults from his father. He asked Rory
to give him a chance to be a good father and a good son to his ailing father.
They were given a flat and help came around every day which made him
wonder why not before? But he realized that he had found what he had been looking
for.
In conclusion, I find that the ending of the novel is a joyful one. This is
because Rory had found what he had been looking for, a family of his own and a
comfortable life for his grandfather. It is very heart-warming to find that Rory could
forgive everyone who had caused him pain and fear of losing hope. I am also
happy to cherish the friendships that Rory had built with the people he met along
his journey: Ruby, Sammy and Tyrone; Norma, Nicola, Annie, Rab, not forgetting
his ever good buddy, Darren. Even the lovebirds, Rab and Annie, were getting married soon. He was also matured enough to understand and forgive Norma for reporting him and Granda to the police. He also realised how lucky he was compared to Tess.
