Mary Grace is the daughter of the one woman in the room Turpin respects, and people only described her as crazy after she attacked Turpin
Changed line(s) 65 (click to see context) from:
* SomebodyDoesntLoveRaymond: In "Revelation", smug Ruby Turpin is the well-bred wife of a successful farmer and highly respected by her town and church; she seldom lets anyone forget how blessed by God she is. Everyone goes along with this and with her constant passing judgments until a girl from a white-trash background insults Mrs. Turpin and hurls her philosophy book at her. (It's implied the girl is mentally disturbed.) Shaken, the older woman returns home, refusing any consolation, shouting at her black farm help who keep saying they admire her. Ultimately the girl's words leave Mrs. Turpin severely upset, recoiling at the unpleasant truths she sees about herself and railing at God.

Added Most Writers Are Writers entry
Added DiffLines:
* MostWritersAreWriters: Not the norm in her stories, but Miss Willerton in ''The Crop'' is attempting to be one (not very successfully). Her attempt to write about sharecroppers, because she believes that's a contemporary social issue people will take seriously, quickly gets derailed with SelfInsert daydreaming. Flannery herself was a student writing on an amateur basis at that time, and one of the earlier stories in the same thesis with that story is from the perspective of a blind black man implied to be of the sharecropper class.
