Part 3, Chapter 19 Summary: “Nancy”

It is July 1984. Michael and Nancy get engaged. Nany is volunteering for the Jane Network, helping Alice and Evelyn with their patients. Nancy has not told her adoptive parents or Michael about her volunteer work with the network.

Nancy is welcoming a patient and talking to her about the procedure when the patient reveals that she is an undercover police officer wearing a wire to record their conversation.

Part 3, Chapter 20 Summary: “Evelyn”

Evelyn hears Nancy’s encounter with the police officer from the other room; the police officer’s recording equipment makes a loud screech. Five officers rush in to arrest Nancy, Evelyn, and Alice. Evelyn remains calm and demands respect and an explanation from the police. The Jane Network is very careful, so there isn’t any evidence around the room that could prove they were providing illegal abortions. The only evidence is one piece of paper, a list of patients that Evelyn is holding. She manages to fold it up and stash it in the waistband of her pants.

The three women are arrested and loaded into a police van. Evelyn sees another one of their volunteers, Doris, on the street, and they make eye contact.
