I have not read enough of this book to form full, complete
thoughts on each character. I have some
thoughts on a few of the characters though. I’d like to share them
with you.
Westley Moore, the father of Wes Moore:
Westley Moore was a gentle man. He wanted everyone to be happy. He wanted the house to be peaceful. He had his own talk show on a radio
station. He wanted to encourage people
and help people he may not even know. He
died from acute epiglottitis. He should
not have died. This was treatable, but
the doctors sent him home. They numbed
his throat so he could not feel himself suffocating. He died that day, leaving his family behind
to fend for themselves.
Joy Moore, the mother of Wes Moore:
Joy Moore was in an abusive relationship prior to her
marriage to Westley. She was very
protective of the women in her life, not wanting them to go through the abuse
she went through. Marrying her love, Wes
Moore, has shown her a gentler side of life.
She was able to be gentle because he was there to calm her down. When Wes died, she had to move to her
parent’s house. She could not handle
being alone in the house she once shared with Wes. He was her rock.
Mary Moore, the mother of the other Wes Moore:
Mary was a young girl, just a teenager when she got pregnant
with Tony, Wes’s brother. Her mother was
her support when she began have kidney problems. When she died during surgery, Mary began to
fall apart. She was the first to leave
the house. She got pregnant again with
Wes. Wes was born and Mary was able to
begin schooling. She had always dreamed
of being the first t complete school.
When she discovered that her grant was taken away, she was broken. She thought her chances were over.
