Peach is Grace's baby, and the main motivation behind Grace wanting to find her birth mother. Peach is both Grace's pain and strength. She is sad that she is not able to care for Peach and feels guilty wondering if Peach is not in the best possible home. Nevertheless, Grace understands that Peach is better off being raised in a stable, loving home that can provide for her. She has a bittersweet and ambivalent relationship to the adoption. When Peach's adoptive parents send her a picture of Peach a month after she is born, Grace barely recognizes her and feels as if she wants to keep the picture forever, but also never look at it again. It causes her both sorrow and gladness at the same time.
