Maggie: The shy, retiring daughter who lives with Mama. Burned in a house fire as a young girl, Maggie lacks confidence and shuffles when she walks, often fleeing or hanging in the background when there are other people around, unable to make eye contact. She is good-hearted, kind, and dutiful. Rather than anger her intimidating sister, she is willing to let Dee have the quilts that had originally been promised to her.
“They said "You can't raise the baby alone." But no one expects a widow to give up her baby because her husband dies, do they? No. It's punitive. That's it in a nutshell. You don't deserve the baby.”
Maggie: Younger sister of Rose, a troubled woman with an inflated opinion of herself
