Chapter Summaries & Analyses
Lisa thinks about how she has quit school and spent the last two years in Vancouver, partying and living off of her trust fund. A vision of Tab comes to help her after she passes out in a hotel along with a bunch of strangers. Tab lectures Lisa about her supposed friends who abandoned her among the strangers. Yet when Lisa tosses Tab some cigarettes that go “right through her body,” she believes that Tab is dead (301).
The visit makes Lisa realize her friends only hang out with her to use her money, and she leaves Vancouver. She goes to Aunt Trudy to find out if Tab is really dead. Trudy tells her Tab is not dead and mentions that she is headed to live in Native Housing after a stint in rehab. Lisa goes to a party with Trudy and Josh. Frank is there, but he ignores them. Josh tells Lisa how much Mick meant to him and how much he loved her. Lisa and Frank finally talk. He gives her a ride back to Trudy’s house after the party. Frank tells Lisa that Pooch has killed himself, and says he saw Pooch’s ghost the day he died.
