Evie's beautiful mother with blond hair and blue eyes. Orphaned at 14...parents died in subway train when it got off course. Got married at 17 and her husband soon left her.
“One thing I was always happy about, Evie. I was happy you grew up plain, all knees and elbows. You weren't some curly-headed doll. It meant you'd use your brain. And you did. I wanted to keep you that way for as long as I could. When you started getting pretty, I didn't want you to know it. I was just watching out for you, you see, the best I could. You've got to understand something. Mothers don't want their kids to make their mistakes." (p. 161)”
