She insists that God will help them and tells Bri that they'll figure something out. Even after losing her job and while struggling to pay bills, Jay remains optimistic. She attends night school to earn a social work degree so that she can give others addicted to drugs the help that she couldn't get when she was addicted. At the beginning of the novel, Jay works as a secretary at Christ Temple Church, which her family also attends. She's been sober for eight years, though she's only had custody of Bri and Trey for five. Jay fully recognizes and owns that she made poor decisions as a young mother, and in the present, it's clear that she's done everything in her power to be a good parent. Bri began calling her Jay about a year after Lawless's death, when Jay became addicted to crack and left Bri and Trey with Grandma and Granddaddy.
