Kia. Mike Noonan’s wife died in a drugstore parking lot from a brain aneurysm. Mike found out that his wife had been pregnant with a girl when she died, after they had been trying very hard to have a baby. They had earlier planned to name their baby Kia Jane Noonan if it was a girl. When Mike met Mattie and Kyra Devore, he initially misheard Kyra’s name as Kia.
3 years old. Bill Dean’s twin sister Carla died when she was three years old. The official cause of death was that she died in the big forest fire, but what really happened was that her father drowned her in the lake. It was part of Sara Tidwell’s revenge that the men who had killed her and her son would be forced to kill their own children. Bill Dean grew up to become Mike’s caretaker for Sara Laughs.
Under Johanna’s studio. Mike had been trying to find Johanna’s owls, and they ended up being under her studio. He discovered this when he realized that the message “owls under studio” appeared in the book he had been writing. When he found the owls, he found all of Jo’s research about the TR and Sara Tidwell.
Brenda Meserve . Brenda Meserve was Mike’s very competent housekeeper at Sara Laughs and was one of the few who didn’t shun Mike after he befriended Mattie. She told Mike a little about some of the town’s history, but she couldn’t go to Sara Laughs anymore when she had a dream that something bad would happen to her if she did. She believed that something evil was very angry with her.
Helen’s Promise. After Johanna died, Mike suffered from extreme writer’s block. He was able to finish the book he had been writing when she died, but after that, no more. Yet his agent wanted books from him, so Mike submitted four novels that he had written in the past and never published. The first of these was “All the Way from the Top”, followed by “Threatening Behavior” and “Darcy’s Admirer”. The last book Mike had published was “Helen’s Promise”. Mike worked on a book at Sara Laughs, but it wasn’t finished, and he never wrote again.
She was his daughter. Officially, Rogette Whitmore was Max Devore’s personal assistant. She did everything for him and was his staunch ally. However, Mike later discovered that Rogette was actually Devore’s daughter, and that she had leukemia.
No. Reg Tidwell, Jr. was killed when he was caught in an animal trap. He died from blood poisoning. The trap was set when Son Tidwell, his father, was asking around about his sister Sara’s murder, and the locals felt he was asking too many questions, so the trap was set as a warning. Sara’s son Kito was killed along with her; he was drowned while Jared Devore and his men killed Sara. After Son Tidwell’s child died, Son packed up the rest of the Red-Tops and left the area forever.
Strickland. When Mike and Mattie met for lunch after Max Devore died, Mike had gotten Kyra a McDonald’s Happy Meal. Inside the Happy Meal was a stuffed dog toy, and Mike realized that this was the same toy he had seen in his dream. Kyra asked Mike to name the dog, and he named in Strickland after a character in one of Johanna’s favorite books. Kyra loved the name, but she always called the dog “Stricken”.
William Fraker. He was in a hurry for some after work relaxation. He wanted a hot shower and a cold beer (not necessarily in that order). He caused the accident because he was in a hurry to get home and wasn't paying attention to his driving.
WMTW. He talks about it when he is trying to get his mind off off Rogette's note. It was the local ABC Broadcast affiliate in the area.
Elmer Durgin. Mike Noonan got a chuckle out of his transcriber in their interview. He wore an old school Stenomask. Mike thought he looked like the world's oldest fighter pilot.
Drive-By shooting. She gets shot as she is leaving her house. She and Mike had just shared an intimate moment that was going to change their lives (or so they had hoped).
She was shot by a couple of hired-hand locals that wanted her out of the area.
She was a refreshment server where he played softball. She would still go there to watch softball occasionally. She would run the kegs of beer out to the softball field on a handcart. She got stuck in the mud on one occasion, and Lance helped her out of the situation.
Computer software guru. He owned a computer company called "Visions". He also owned a lot of forest in the Maine area. He bought the land as an investment in his son Lance, who had taken an interest in forestry.
I BLEED DODGER BLUE. Mike thought this wheelchair looked like something out of a Tom Clancy novel.
It had a satellite dish on it. It had a green oxygen mask holstered on it. The armrests were covered with a wide variety of controls.
All She Wants To Do Is Dance. All the men at the party were in rapture of her while she was doing this. They thought she was the most beautiful woman in the world at that time. They also listened to A Flock of Seagulls.
Jo's brother. Mike spent his first Christmas with his wife's family a full four years after her death. It was also Frank who revealed some of Jo's secrets to Mike. Those secrets included trips up to the TR to do some history investigating for a book Jo was planning to write.
a Doggy. This doggy would appear in several of Mike's dreams. He didn't place it at first because it was muddy and wet in his dream, but in the end he realized what it signified and changed the outcome of his dream.
