This week we will be taking a look at Mari Sasgovidge. After you read this post you won't be refuring to her as "Celia's friend" anymore.
Maria Dolores Sasgovidge was born in Potosi, Mexico; where she lived until she was 2 years old. Her father died in a drug war and after they tried to come back and kill Maria and her mother (Rene Lopez) they fled to the United States, and landed in Arizona. Maria's mother worked two jobs to stay on track and Maria went to school whever she wasn't at a day care. When Maria was 5 years old they were able to stand on their own two feet and moved to Monroe, Utah, where Maria current resides. Later, that same year, Maria's mother married again, to Benjamin Turner, Maria's new step-father. Maria, her mother, and her step-father currently lives in Monroe, Utah.

And that is that. Maria Sasgovidge went to school with Celia until Celia went off to college and they both parted their ways. Maria did not go to college. She ended up starting a job at a car dealership when she was 16.

Character Wednesday!!!
Hello All,
Exciting things are going on, and little by little A Gift From Above is becoming more and more well-known. Starting July 1st I will be headed off on an online book tour! Each month I will be featured in someone's blog, or on his/her website. On the fansite calendar: http://www.agiftfromabove.webs.com/ you can find the details about where I will be.
Now, on to the characters! This week we will be taking a look at Millicent Potter. She plays quite a large role in the book (though she is featured only once, and for a short amount of time too) but not much is said about her. So, I'm going to give you the down-low on her life. Millicent's father (Robert Potter) abandoned her and her mother (Jade Fletcher) after her father found out that her mother was pregnant with her. So Millicent grew up in England (Millicent never revealed exactly where she lived in England) with her mother. Some roomers say that she lived in a rat infested apartment with her mother, but that has never been confirmed.
When Millicent was 17 her mother fell ill and unable to care for her anymore sent Millie to the United States for a better life. Her mother gave her all of the British pounds that she had and told Millie to be successful. So, Millie left, she turned the British pounds into dollars, went to a public college in Utah. She worked and lived there for seven years as a waitress, but as the restaurant closed she had to leave that job and search for a new one. That is when she found the want ad in the local paper "Wanted: Good Nanny". And that is what she did for the next two years.
On the third year that she worked as a nanny things turned sour and she found herself fond of the already married man whom hired her. But, still she swore to herself to keep her feelings hidden behind bars as she remembered what her mother told her.
But, as the man revealed his feelings for her she did not resist. As a result she was practically thrown out of the house by the man not un-lovingly. She lived in the city raising her little girl and keeping quiet about the situation. Feeling as though she let her mother down and failed in her quest.

Although Millicent Potter's story is a sad one, who's to say how it ends?
Next week we'll be going more indepth about Celia's friend Mari. See you then!
