Part 2, Chapter 25 Summary

For the next week, Jolene hides from her family and finds comfort in wine and sleeping pills. She calls Carl in Germany, still feeling Tami’s condition is her fault. In mid-October, Michael tells Jolene she is going to court with him. Jolene tries to refuse, but Michael will not back down. They arrive at the courthouse, and Jolene sits behind the defense table. She watches the trial begin and is amazed as Michael makes his opening statement in Keith’s defense. At one point, he turns to Jolene and says he is proud of her military service. Michael argues that PTSD is the cause of Keith’s actions. When Michael sits down, Jolene sees how much his attitude toward the military has changed.

At lunch break, Michael goes to Jolene and apologizes again for his selfishness. Jolene feels her love and passion for him return. Michael then takes Jolene to Keith, who asks to speak to her. They sit across a table from each other, and Keith tells her to return to her family and talk to Michael. Jolene realizes how much Keith understands her situation and struggle.

Michael and Jolene return to an empty house, as Mila has taken the girls out for dinner.
