Emma is embarrassed by all this so she lies to everyone about where she came from, although she actually doesn't seem very upset that her entire immediate family has been wiped out. Emma doesn't like to drink because she was in a car accident with her drunk step-daddy, which is why she's now living with her aunt, who gives her money and doesn't set a curfew. Then her mom got sick but found a boyfriend to marry so her daughter wouldn't have to be alone. (This might be a metaphor.) Her daddy left when she was six and her twin brother died when she was fourteen. She feels 'absolutely crushed' when she walks into a classroom and he's not there.Įmma likes music and she likes to run. When he blows hot and cold, she gets upset.
