She describes her experiences in jail and her daily routines. Maria has to go through an electric chair right in front of her husband. Seeing her pain makes him agree to go with the Trujillo's men.
CHAPTER 12: Minerva is the last narrator of the book. Chapter 12 takes place from between August and November 25, 1960. While under house arrest she struggles with her usual courageous personality until she is faced with adversity and has to be courageous. Trujillo then declares that his only two remaining problems are the church and the Mirabal sisters. The sisters must cross isolated mountainous roads to get there for visitations. Minerva, María Teresa, Patria, and Rufino de la Cruz travel to the prison on November 25. On the way, they fear an ambush, but they arrive safely. They try calling home before heading back, but the line is busy and they never get through
