Chapter Twelve:
Chapter twelve is a letter written by Bronwyn. It is her mom's suicide note to her daughter, that she wanted her to read once she was 18. The letter explains that Mr Clark is actually Astrid's dad. John does not know this. The letter is a goodbye note. The letter says that Astrid was named after Bronwyn's best and only friend, whom she misses so dearly. It explains that the rape traumatized her so much and is one of the reasons for her suicide. It explains how after the rape and after Astrid left, Bronwyn met John and very quickly married him to get out of her foster home. She told John it was his baby and denied most of the past. She states that she learned to forgive Astrid.

Chapter eleven writing:

That is the last memory I have of Bronwyn. She is gone now, like frost on a field in the morning that’s gone by noon. I will never accept losing her. But I will accept that I will have to live with this loss for the rest of my life. Every day of my existence on this planet reminds me of Bronwyn and her eyes that were as dark as the Douglas fir bark on the tree outside of the childhood home she nursed me and bathed me in. I have not learned to let go, but I have learned to embrace that this is my reality, until I meet you in the stars again someday.

You may notice that some of the quotes here are very similar to poems I have posted- that is because I turn a lot of my novel writing into poems xD
