Chapter9/10

Truth was revealed, now it's getting blurred. Janie, due to overwhelming "truth" of Hannah and the cult, had forgotten about the milk carton, and the dress found in the attic that matched the little girl's. The next day, Janie and her parents felt awkward with each other, and couldn't interact affectionately again. Janie understood her parents were afraid to loose another daughter, but she couldn't keep herself from the other side of the truth; New Jersey. In these two chapters, Janie and Reeve skips school to go find where Janie really came from. They saw her family, finding where they live through phonebook, because the last name Spring was on the milk carton. Janie saw her brothers, born with the same distinguishable hair like Janie's. In the end, she gets too afraid and decides to go home with Reeve, whose got other ideas at a motel.
I found it interesting that it was always raining where Janie is currently living, and once she reached her hometown, the sun shone brightly. This was a bit of a cheesy way to show that she has reached the truth, and this where "the sky clears". This is getting a bit confusing, thought not entirely tiring, the emotional truth from her current parents didn't seem to match the evidence that Janie found. Everything about the twisted cult and their beloved Hannah, was not told without grief, tears and uneasiness. I was surprised though how Reeve could even bring up the subject of sex.." Yes I know you're having an identity crisis, you have no idea who you are and where you're from, but let's have sex." This was a bit out of the blue, I guess this was to contribute to Janie's complicated thoughts; make it seem like there was many things happening at once in Janie's head. From this, I would understand why some paranoid mom would want this book banned from her son/daughter; Janie at a age of fifteen, ended this chapter with an invitation from Reeve to the motel.
