Chapter Summaries & Analyses

Chapter 23 Summary: “Adrienne—Before”

The narrative returns to Adrienne’s point of view, in the past. Adrienne is at the public health clinic where she volunteers, offering free mental health services. Adrienne finds Luke and asks if she can take him up on his previous offer to install a home-security system for her. He agrees and comes by Adrienne’s house to install the system later that day. After Luke is finished, he and Adrienne start talking about her work and her upcoming book, The Anatomy of Fear. Adrienne reveals that she tapes her sessions. Adrienne asks Luke if he wants to have a mock therapy session with her: “The Dr. Adrienne Hale experience” (156). Luke agrees, reluctantly.

Chapter 24 Summary: “Transcript of Recording”

The narrative continues Adrienne’s point of view as she starts her mock therapy session with Luke. However, the session is relayed as a transcript of the recording of “LUKE” that Tricia is listening to in the present day, allowing the reader to “listen” along with Tricia. Luke, age 36, reveals that he has been married once before and that his wife died. Luke does not want to discuss the incident with Adrienne.
