Nancy's mother appears in the book as a somewhat distant character from Nancy due to how much she works to support their family. Her lack of attention partly contributes to allowing Collin and Nancy to be alone together. When Nancy tells her mother about her rape, she reorients her life more towards Nancy. When they discover Nancy has HIV, her mother becomes a source of constant love and support, even putting aside her differences with her ex-husband, Nancy's father, to help Nancy.
