[[Moon Called]]
  * Was seventeen when she had Mercy, and her parents tried to talk her into an abortion, but Margi would have none of it.

  * Came out every summer to visit<sup>44</sup>

[[Blood Bound]]

  * My mom didn’t like Zee. She blamed him for Mercy's decision to stay in the Tri-Cities and fix cars instead of finding a teaching job, something much more in line with the kind of work she thought Mercy should be doing<sup>38</sup>
