Solution

   Kira's main conflict is with society, but the one that is resolved at the end of Gathering Blue is a conflict with herself. Should she stay and help her fellow villagers deal with the lies of the Council? Or should she steal away with her father and leave the lies behind?
   Kira is conflicted by these choices, but in the end, she knows she couldn't face leaving behind the only place she's ever known. She and her father arrange for them to visit each other, then eventually have Kira leave the village completely and set out for the "village of the healing".
   In the end, the solution is that Kira will gradually start to spend more time in her father's community until she stays permanently. The resolution of the entire series ends in the book Son, written by Lois Lowry.
