The book describes Carine as follows: "like Chris,
she clashed fiercely with Walt and Billie as an
adolescent. But the differences between the
siblings were greater than their similarities.
Carine made peace with her parents shortly after
Chris disappeared, and notv, at the age of
twenty-two, she calls their relationship
'extremely good.' (Page 129)"
Take into consideration her interview with ABC
news. Why do you think she waited so long to
reveal the abuse in the McCandless home? Do
you agree with her statement that Walt and Billie
are not responsible for Chris's death, but
accountable for his decision to disappear after
college?
