2. Karen's marriage with David is happy.

Answer: false

Karen had a crush on Trevor, but because she was shy and young, he didn't notice her. David, jealous of his brother, tried to woo Karen away from Trevor and they ended up getting married. At first, it was good, but after he got back from the Marines, he began abusing her and she stayed with him. Karen never really loved David and she still has feelings for Trevor, she just won't admit to them.
3. What is the name of Trevor and Lori's son?

Chris is a 10 year old boy who's very troubled. Giff is Lori's cousin, Eric's his dad and Vinny is Eric's dad, Giff and Lori's grandfather.
4. What does Karen learn was NOT true of her husband while he was in Tennessee?

Answer: he was very popular and well respected

First off, Karen learned not everyone cared for him. When she first met everyone, they all judged her immediately for being David's wife, but then all but Lori grew to liked her. Nona then told her that Lori gave a ring to David and they played around. Eventually she learns from Gwen that he was involved in a scheme with her husband.
5. Who dropped the block through the sun roof?

Answer: Lori

She wanted to get Karen out of the picture. She blamed it on Chris, but Karen checked on him and saw he was sleeping.
6. Chris was keeping a big secret. What was it?

Answer: He found David's body in the cabin

Chris had been acting strange lately. He did think his dad killed David and people had speculated that he started the fire, but those weren't the cases.
7. After Chris showed Karen the cabin, who ended up dying?

Answer: Lori

Before Chris showed Karen what he needed to show, they saw Lori dancing at the theater and a man watching, whom everyone assumed to be Joe. The dressing room began burning and Lori was in there. Trevor tried to save her, but it was too late.
8. Who else also knew about David's body?

Answer: Maggie

Throughout the whole story, Maggie drew horrifying pictures. One was a kudzu, where the cabin was located and in it was a dead body. Karen figured it was David. At first, Maggie denied it, but she eventually confessed when she was confronted about it.
9. Why did Giff take Karen out to dinner?

Answer: Because Gwen wanted to meet Karen

Although he did show her around the hotel, the primary reason was so Gwen could meet with Karen to discuss what happened. Karen was suspicious of Giff the whole time.
10. Who was finally revealed to have killed David?

Answer: None of them - he was alive the whole time

Gwen wanted to meet with Karen again, this time she wanted her alone. She told her this story of how Joe and David were involved in a blackmail scheme. They got into a fight, and Joe knocked David out, accidentally killing him. To cover up the crime, Joe put David in his cabin and set one of the others on fire to look like David died there. Also, Joe killed Lori because she knew too much. Then Gwen told Karen she wanted to show her something in the cabin, so they went in. When Karen went upstairs, she got the shock of her life: David was in there.

Here's what really happened: David and Joe were involved in a blackmail scheme, but David killed Joe and took over his identity and let everyone think he was dead to cover up his tracks. He and Lori were having an affair and he killed her because she knew too much. David then asked Karen to run away with him but she refused. Chris walked in at the wrong time and then David took them hostage in the bathroom and set it on fire. They managed to get out and David did die in the end. Trevor and Karen ended up together.
