She learns that the Tuck family are blessed with - or doomed to - eternal life since drinking from the spring, and they wander from place to place trying to live as inconspicuously as they can. Now Winnie knows their secret.

But then Winnie must decide whether or not to keep the Tucks' secret--and whether or not to join them on their never-ending journey.
