Chapter Summaries & Analyses

Chapter 30 Summary: “Sadie”

Sadie drives to Farfield, where Ellis told her he last heard from Keith. Sadie pulls the car over and takes the tags and licenses from her bag. She remembers when she was 11 and Mattie was five. Keith would come to her in the night when Claire had passed out and threaten to go to Mattie instead if she refused to let him molest her. Sadie thinks of the one night she refused him. Keith was gone in the morning.

When Claire left, Sadie was 16 and Mattie was ten. Sadie fought to protect Mattie to keep them both alive and to convince Mattie the two of them would be okay.

When Sadie was 19 and Mattie was 13, Keith came back. Mattie was angry that Sadie would not give her money to go to Los Angeles to find Claire. Keith said that he would help Mattie and later she got in his truck.

Sadie doesn’t know what happened next, but she imagines that Mattie changed her mind and is no longer alive. Sadie also feels she is no longer alive.
