Oh no, I hope Lisa isn't following Alma's path: “I stayed in the lines, Mama,” Lisa said.
Alma really has nothing to fall back on, no stores of knowledge imparted by Ma Beers on which to draw, no realistic role model...just her own kind of twisted imaginings of the way she thinks things should be, taken from her interpretations and observations as a child. Hard to get through life like that. eta: hey, just like Ennis!!
