Summary
As soft-spoken and generally introverted as he was, there were only three things that the Pitt crew knew with absolute certainty about Dennis Whitaker: He was raised on a farm in Nebraska, studied theology in college, and had three brothers who “tortured” him growing up.
In the two months that they had been living together, Trinity Santos managed to add a fourth item to that list: He had nightmares. Bad ones.
or
Dennis Whitaker never wanted anyone in Pittsburgh to find out about his past, but the constant triggers of the hospital and an overbearing roommate make it impossible to avoid.

Summary
“What aren’t you telling me?” Abbot asked, speaking slowly. He was starting to put together a picture in his head. A long exposure shot in Nebraska over the course of several years. “Does this have anything to do with why you sent him home the other day?”
Robby’s silence told Jack everything he needed to know.
It all made sense now. The boy’s twitchy, erratic behavior. His over-eager, people pleasing personality. The way he sometimes didn’t understand basic references, as if he’d been sheltered from the world his whole life. Dennis Whitaker was a smart kid. He hadn’t been indoctrinated into a cult. He’d simply never known anything else.
or
A patient hits too close to home for Whitaker, forcing his secret into the open.

or
Whitaker has to mourn a man he never really loved.
