How does gracies choice end

After a few seconds of struggle, Ray attempts to rape her while holding her towards the refrigerator. Luckily, Rowena catches him in the act and intervenes. Ray defends himself by saying that Gracie tried to come on him, to which Gracie calls him a liar. Rowena throws her into the next room and holds her towards a wall. Gracie shows her mother her injury, but Rowena begs her to let her have this man, as she believes that Ray is truly the one for her.

The next day at school, Grace's English teacher sees her injury and asks who hit her. Gracie claims that she simply walked into a door, which does not convince him in the slightest.

Gracie then tells him about her turbulent childhood and that being hit doesn't matter to her as it had happened constantly since she was born. The teacher replies stating that he would have to report this, to which Gracie asks "Why? A few days later, Gracie is at home petting her cat Shadow when Rowena and Ray come back home with doughnuts. Once Rowena offers her one, Gracie simply scolds her for being gone for three days and that they have no food left.

Rowena surprisingly doesn't show any aggression and simply let her daughter have a doughnut, which Gracie thanks her for. Three hours later, Gracie and Rose are playing with their cats when they hear police sirens nearby. They see multiple police cars coming their way, As a result, Rowena begins to panic and tries to throw her drugs down the toilet.

Though she asks Ray for help, he abandons her by jumping out the window, but the police arrest him as he tries to escape. The officers then escort Gracie and her siblings out of the building as their mother is arrested. As the police try to separate the children and put them into different places, the siblings try to resist, but to no avail.

As her brothers are taken away, Rose blames Gracie for this situation as it would not have happened if she hadn't told her teacher at school. The police bring Gracie and Rose into a juvenile detention center for them to stay at for a few days until the situation can be resolved. The instructor has them undress and take a shower, where they have a good laugh about their mother's life. After put into proper uniform, the sisters are sent to bed, but are forcefully separated when they want to sleep together.

The next morning, Gracie and Rose go to the center's outside gym for warm-ups. As Rose expresses her discomfort, the other girls began to bully and degrade her. When the exercises begin, Rose continues to be mocked by them. After she verbally defends herself, one of the other girls shoves her into the cage wall.

When Gracie tries to break up the fight, the officers put her into a detention room. Before they leave, Gracie screams to know where her brothers are and demands to call her grandmother, to which the officers agree. Lou comes for her granddaughters shortly after and firmly embraces them.

She informs them that they, as well as they boys, are going to be living with her for the time being. She also reveals that their mother will not even be allowed to see them when she gets out.

However, in order to help support the family, Lou will need help from both Gracie and Rose to keep everything in check. The girls then return to their old apartment to find their kittens, but are unable to. A few days later, Gracie's brothers return to their grandmother's house where she and her sister happily reunite with them. At bedtime, the boys ask Gracie and Rose if they could sleep with them as they are scared of being alone.

Although the girls are okay with it, Lou catches them in the act shortly after and forces the boys to go back to their rooms. During the middle of the day, Gracie accidentally runs into Mrs.

Thurston, a school counselor, and causes her to drop her papers while running to pick up her brother. Thurston forces her to clean up the mess and has her come into her office for a discussion. While there, Gracie acts cocky towards her before revealing her situation. Thurston tells her to put her focus onto school rather than finding a job. Gracie becomes frustrated due to her comments and asks to leave, which Thurston allows, but with a reminder to "get her act together".

A few weeks after this, Gracie manages to get a job at a local dinner. The next day, she participates in a tryout for the track team, and manages to win the race. Tommy, a football player whose eye is caught by this, takes interest in her and asks her how she learned to run so fast.

She replies that it was due to running from truant officers. He then tells her that she should be on the track team, but she replies that she doesn't have time for that. She then attends her job where Rose and her boyfriend Rick are eating at. Rose then asks Gracie to pay for his meal as he forgot his wallet. Gracie agrees but warns Rick to not come back without it. As Gracie is walking home, Tommy drives up to her and offers her a ride, but she declines, saying that she takes the bus. However, after Gracie gets on the bus, Tommy appears there as well, stating that his car broke down.

After the conductor drops them off, the two engage in conversation while walking to Gracie's house. After they get there, Gracie tells Tommy her story.

Tommy acts supportive of her, and tells her that tomorrow, they can both take the bus. Once Gracie is inside, she is shocked to learn that not only is her sister pregnant and engaged to her boyfriend, but that she is dropping out of school to leave with him.

Although Gracie begs Rose to stay, her pleas fall on deaf ears as her sister finishes getting dressed. Outside, Rose tells Gracie that she loves her boyfriend and everything will be okay. Though this depresses Gracie, she accepts her sister's choice as Rose gets in the car with Rick.

The next day, Gracie is in the school library researching "The Black Death" for a school project when Tommy asks her to help him a solve a problem on his computer. This eventually leads into a conversation and Tommy asks if Gracie could invite him to dinner with her family, which Gracie agrees to.

Later that afternoon, Gracie has Tommy over and introduces him to her family. They have a good laugh as her brothers make jokes about food prayers during dinner. However, Gracie's joy is short-lived as her mother appears with a new boyfriend, Franco. She is shocked as the boys embrace their mother and she them back. She then hesitantly introduces her to Tommy, who Rowena warms up to.

Gracie asks her mother if they could have a chat outside. Once there, she tells her mother that she can't stay with them, and scolds her for landing her up in a youth facility. Rowena responds by asking her for a hug.

Although hesitantly, Gracie gives it to her, and begs her to not screw them over again: a promise that Rowena makes. Morning arrives, and Franco is watching a basketball game with Tommy on the family television set. Gracie finishes dressing up so Tommy could take her to meet his family. Once there, Gracie is shocked on the enormity of his house and expresses anxiety about whether or not his family will like her. Tommy calms her down by saying that he likes her and so will his family.

They share a kiss and then head inside. Gracie has a friendly conversation with Tommy's parents as they cook up some burgers for them to eat. After wrapping up the barbecue, Gracie notices there are quite a few leftovers and asks if she could take them home to her brothers. Tommy's father agrees and gives them to her in a paper bag. Once at home, Gracie overhears a conversation between Rowena and Lou, and is shocked to find out that not only did Robbie witness his mother and Franco engaging in sex, but that Lou had been giving her daughter the welfare checks that were meant for Gracie and and her siblings.

Realizing that Rowena will always be her grandmother's number-one priority, Gracie decides that her only option is to take her brothers away and raise them herself. At school, Gracie works with Mrs. Thurston and another consultant to find a solution to her problem.

The consultant first considers foster homes, but Gracie rejects the idea, stating that the people there only take the kids for the money. She then proposes that she could adopt them herself. However, the both of them inform that although she can be emancipated, she would need the granting from a judge and to them, that would be "too much on her shoulders". Gracie, however, doesn't care and firmly states that she'll be their mother no matter the cost.

Once home, Rowena finds out about this and screams at Gracie, saying that she isn't their mother and she never will be. She then asks her if she's only doing this for the caregiver money, with Gracie responding that is exactly what Rowena is doing. Infuriated, Rowena tackles her daughter to the ground as the two scream at each other. After a few more harsh words, Gracie tells her mother that she'll never have her brothers and tells her to leave before she calls the authorities. I instantly empathised if that's the correct word with the lead character of Gracie, played extremely well by Kirsten Bell!

I don't want to give too much away, but this is a truly remarkable, heroic and self-sacrificing movie about a young girl who bares the weight of her family out of pure love.

I am amazed how such a gem of a movie was made specifically for TV. RayRob82 Feb 23, Details Edit. Release date January 12, United States. Canada United States. Gracie's Choice: A Story of Love.
