Chapter 11 Summary
When Eric goes the hospital next, again Virgil Byrnes is there and again he tells Eric he better tell Sarah to knock it off and come back home. Eric continues to play ignorant and leaves a notebook for he and Sarah to communicate in. Sarah writes Eric a long letter, confessing her love as a friend for Eric (despite the tough exterior she’s maintained over the years) and her deeply-felt hope that her mom might still be out there, ready to love her and keep her safe from her dad. Though Sarah said in her note that Eric is not to show it to anyone, he does share it with Ms. Lemry, who cries some and resolves to help Sarah find her mom.
