Mr. McCobb
Mrs. McCobb is one of Demon’s foster parents. The McCobbs make Demon stay in a back area of the house—the space is filthy, and Demon suspects that the McCobb family dog used to sleep there before Demon arrived. Mrs. McCobb makes Demon go into pawn shops with her things to try and sell them because she thinks that might give him a better deal than they would give her.

Quotes
Miss Barks […] stuck with a different theory. I needed to be more pushy with them. Did she give up on her dreams? No, she worked hard for what she wanted. Did I expect anybody to look out for Damon if he wouldn’t look out for himself? Life is what you make it! Here’s where Miss Barks didn’t grow up: foster care. She had no clue how people can be living right on the edge of what’s doable. If you push too hard, you can barrel yourself over a damn cliff.
