What are your first feelings about Niang? (Chapter 2)

I found Niang cold and unfeeling. Their stepmother, Niang, cares nothing for her stepchildren. That, coupled with the fact that Adeline’s siblings “blamed [her] for causing Mama’s death and never forgave [her],” (4) makes it difficult for Adeline to advance her place within the family.

she was a cold mean bit#h with no care toward her step-children
