Briar Rose Chapter 10 Summary

  • Becca receives the clippings she requested from the reporter. She also gets some info from the National Archives.
  • Things back at home are more or less back to normal. Shana and Sylvia have headed back to their respective towns.
  • One of the records from the National Archive indicates that Gemma, whose real name was possibly Gitl Mandlestein, immigrated to Oswego. But there's not a lot of details on the form, and Becca can't even be sure it's really Gemma that the form is talking about.
  • From talking to her mom, Becca surmises that Gitl really is Gemma. Bonus clue: The woman on the form was pregnant right around the time that Becca's mother was born.
  • Becca brings Stan up to date on her findings. He tells her to keep pushing.
  • Also, he wants to meet outside of work to talk about it further. (Hubba hubba.) He'll come to her house around 7:00PM.
