Moe is a nurse and one of Ma’s friends. At first, Maverick believes that Moe is just one of Ma’s closest friends. The two women met a few years after Pops went to prison and they spend a lot of time together. But over the course of the novel, Maverick starts to notice people like Pops and Lisa talking strangely about Moe and Ma’s relationship—and eventually, Ma reveals that she and Moe have been romantically involved for years. At the end of the novel, Moe is preparing to move in with Ma and Maverick, which will help ease the family’s financial struggles.
