Chapter Summaries & Analyses
Domi drives Sadie and Bird to her cabin in Connecticut, where she leaves them for the day. Sadie and Bird delight in catching up and playing freely in the countryside. They wonder about Margaret’s mission. Sadie knows that Margaret has been planting bottle caps around the city for a while now, and the pair know that their night in Connecticut is in part to avoid the conclusion of the mission—but neither knows what it is.
Margaret has planted thousands of bottle caps around the city, with each bottle cap containing a tiny speaker. She connects to Wi-Fi with her laptop despite the risk of being tracked. She starts speaking through the bottle caps, telling the stories of all the separated families she kept track of over the years. Margaret doesn’t reveal the families’ identities but still manages to humanize them. People all over New York City stop to listen to these stories, some crying.
Margaret waits too long in the house, and police descend on her. She smashes the laptop just as they storm the building.
