A Goodreads user asked this question about
Before the Fall:
Where did Scott get the fountain pen that his father gave him from? He lost everything in the crash and swam ashore with no pants even, and he never went back home to retrieve any of his belongings. So, while the paragraph where he gifts this pen to the 4 yr old is so touching, I was confused as to how he even had the pen.

That is a great question - it got by me! And it was a pencil that he dropped on the plane.
