Marie was originally named Pat by her single alcoholic mother. She had both a younger and older sister, both of each remained with the mother while Marie was sent to foster home at age 5.

Recent studies have shown that within first-degree relatives “probands with mood disorders is consistently about 2 to 3 times greater than in relatives of controls who don’t have a mood disorders. (Barlow & Durand, 2015, pg. 235)” Additional studies have reflected that women characteristically have higher rates of depressive disorders. Though Marie was not around her mother for very long and she never knew her father was, not to have the historic genetic background of her family places a limit upon determining an adequate explanation of how her disorder came to be. A realistic component that could’ve been addressed in the novel was the mental health conditions of her older and younger sisters. This could’ve provided essential insight upon the potential genetic influence of Marie’s disorder.
