Chapter Summaries & Analyses

Chapter 13 Summary: “August 26, 2018”

Content Warning: The Chapter 14 Summary mentions a miscarriage.

The narrative cuts to the present. Andy is now near Big Rock, Illinois, at a McDonald’s, searching for more information. She researches Clara Bellamy, and learns she was a talented ballet dancer who suffered a career-ending knee injury, but there is no information on her after 1983. Eventually, Andy tracks down Edwin Van Wees as well, Clara’s lawyer. She decides to find Edwin to get a lead on Clara. She finds Edwin’s house and parks in the empty driveway. In Mike’s wallet, which she stole along with his truck, she finds four driver’s licenses with different names.

Clara, who apparently lives with Edwin, taps on Andy’s car window and asks about “Andrea” (Andy’s full name). Then, Clara talks about an Andrew, and it becomes clear to Andy that the older thinks she is someone else, and that she may be suffering from Alzheimer’s. Andy brings up Paula’s name, and Clara calls Paula “Penny” (Paula’s code name). The former remembers Paula’s dollar bill and shows it to Clara. Clara calls Andy “Jane” (Laura Oliver’s original name), and Andy asks for Paula’s full name. Clara says it is Paula Louise Evans.
