The speaker of the story is a woman from the south. She works in the country and is the mother of two daughters. "In real life I am a large, big-boned woman with rough, man-working hands" (page 174). She reports and interprets the events as she sees them through the eyes of a mother. She sees the ways Maggie and Dee act. She is a reliable source of information because she is the mother of the two girls and has known them their whole lives. However, she refrains from making judgements to compare her two daughters. She does not present the full truth when talking about Maggie's characteristics. Nevertheless, she is still a reliable source because she has seen the two girls throughout their lives and seen how they have changed.
