Winnie Foster is the 10-year-old heroine of Natalie Babbitt’s novel Tuck Everlasting (and its film adaptations). She comes from a sheltered, over-protective family and, seeking freedom, slips out into the nearby woods.
Her connection to the woods:
- The woods are where she meets the Tuck family, who live secretly there.
- Hidden in those woods is a spring whose water makes anyone who drinks it stop aging — the central mystery of the story.
- Winnie’s time in the wood forces her to confront questions of immortality, mortality, freedom, and responsibility and drives the novel’s main moral choices (including her decision whether or not to drink from the spring).
