Selah Yates

Selah Yates is the mother who has had a stern tongue ever since her father, Magdalena's grandfather, died in a tragic accident. She criticises Magdalena constantly and always makes sure she is working. To Nonie, she is even harsher, though this is because she is clouded by grief. Despite all of this, she cares deeply for them and will always do so. There are some moments of clarity where Selah will let Magdalena off the hook.
