They spend Thanksgiving with Rosemary’s maternal Grandma Donna, her Uncle Bob, Aunt Vivi, and cousins Peter and Janice. Rosemary’s family live in Indiana, and they do not discuss her arrest or any other contentious matters during the holiday. Reg comes to collect Harlow, and Rosemary is forced to call her father, who convinces Officer Hardick to drop all the charges against her in exchange for Rosemary promising to come home for Thanksgiving. The girls are taken to the county jail and placed in a cell. Rosemary throws her plate of food and glass of milk on the ground, and both she and Harlow are arrested. Harlow screams and throws a chair at Reg, who calls her a “psycho bitch.” Officer Haddick and other members of the campus police arrive and mistakenly approach Rosemary, thinking she was involved in the fight. One day, she is having lunch in the cafeteria when she witnesses a fight between a girl, Harlow, and her boyfriend, Reg. It has been 10 years since she has last seen her brother ( Lowell) and 17 since her sister ( Fern) “disappeared.” Rosemary is 22 and in her fifth year of college at UC Davis. Rosemary explains that she is going to “skip the beginning” of her story and “start in the middle,” which takes her to the winter of 1996.
