Subject: Southern Girls

OK maybe I am going completely insane but I have been thinking. I am a complete southern girl. Born and raised in a small town. I still live there. And I am sorry but I still have trouble beliving that Mac's parents let Alina go to Ireland. I can not go to Wal-mart with out letting my daddy know I am OK. On my wedding night I had to call him and say I was alright or he was comming to get me. This is just how daddys are here in the south. Anyway, I believe that they let Alina go to Ireland because they wanted her to learn about her heritage. It was only after she was killed that they realized what a hughe mistake that was and tried to keep Mac from going. We are talking about southern parent here momma cooks all the time and daddy is protective and still calls Mac his baby girl. Trust me they had another reason for letting her go. School would not have been a good enough reason. What do you grils think.

[> I think you have hit on somthing. Something is extremely fishy about them living in Ashford, Georgia (so small and provincial that No Fae EVER visited - how convenient!). Jack Lane tells Mac, in that fatefull phone call that they were 'warned' not to let the girls return to Ireland. So they knew. Imagine their guilt about violating that warning! Rainey Lane is so guilt ridden that she is on medication and is practically comatose. She went from being happy, on a 3 week vacation, to comatose. That is some powerful guilt! I"ve been wondering about Alina's relationship with her parents. If she was not as head-in-the-sand as Mac was about their coloring (biology), she might have realized a lot sooner about the possibility that they were adopted. She might have confronted her parents, and wrapped it all up in the desire to study at Trinity College. There were no nasty Fae to reinforce the warning. I'm CERTAIN that we will learn more about this in books to come. -- claudia_celestial_girl "Want to Drive?"

[> It is quite possible. Love the theory JOJO, as a Northern girl born and raised it chafes a little but I can see the point because I am married to a Southern Man whos mama still crys when he leaves and it has been 15 yrs since he left home. -- Cheryle

[> [> Hey there are pluses to you being a northern girl. At least your daddy did not hide out in the bushes with a gun to scare your boyfriend when he came to pick you up. Or threaten to kill himlike on of them damend vampires if he gave baby girl another love bite. So yeah having a southern daddy has it's drawl backs. I kid you not I knew guys that would not ask me out because my daddy or brother knew them. This one guy asked my big brother if I was dating yet( I was 16) and my brother cussed him out and threatened to shoot him if he showed up at the house. I did not find out about any of this until later. And get this the guy and my brother were friends. -- JOJO

[> I'm a Southern girl ... -- Annaline, 18:10:49 06/16/07 Sat [1]

... and my dad's night like that. Both my parents were very happy when I made the study abroad program and got to go to Scotland for a semester. Most of my friend's parents are like that, and we're all from the South. 'Course, that may have something to do with Columbia (SC)not being a "small" town. I think that her parents may have more to them ... and Alina definitely had more to her in her desire to go to Ireland in the first place. I think Mac is (at least at the start) much more of a homebody than any of the other characters we've ever met in any of KMM's novel.

[> [> Yeah. Mac is a complete homebody. Loved it when she said she would marry somebody with a jacked-up pickup truck and live in her hometown. ;-) -- claudia_celestial_girl "Want to Drive?"
