Ma is the mother of Grace and Caroline. She came to America about twenty-five years earlier, and is a woman of about sixty. She clings to the old ways of her native Haiti, and this stubbornness frequently conflicts with her daughter, especially in regards to the central subject of the story, her daughter's impending wedding. She believes Caroline should have chosen a proper Haitian man instead of a Bahamian.
