Georgina Hayes

Georgina Hayes is a girl who lives in Darby, North Carolina. After her father walks out on them, the family gets evicted from their apartment. Georgina must live with her mother and younger brother in the family car. Georgina, the narrator of the story, never reveals her age.

She is a smart girl who usually does well in school. Unfortunately, her family problems change her attitude toward school. She stops submitting assignments but still loves going to school because it is the one normal thing she gets to do like other kids her age.

Georgina gives her mother a hard time about how she is providing for them. Constantly asking her mother when she will have enough money to get them a new apartment drains her mother. Georgina gets a taste of that same treatment when Toby hounds her about when they will return Willy.
