* AdaptationalPersonalityChange: Nancy, Ma's mother and Jack's grandma, is a bit more of a frumpy old lady in the book -- a bit InnocentlyInsensitive and has tried a few new-age ways to cope with her grief. The role in the movie was expanded and rewritten slightly when Joan Allen came on board, and she's depicted as a bit quieter, more sensitive and intelligent.

** Played straight with Ma's mother and father. She was a DaddysGirl pre-kidnapping and repeatedly notes that her mother drove her crazy (and still does). However, Ma's father is noted to be the person who held a funeral for Ma after her disappearance because he thought of her as dead, while Ma's mother never gave up hope of finding her. Ma's mother also accepts Jack as her grandson, while Ma's father refuses to look at him despite Ma begging him to do so, leaves on Ma's insistence, and doesn't appear for the rest of the book.

The interview goes badly, and after the interviewer suggests that Ma should've given Jack up for adoption, [[spoiler:she attempts suicide. This results in Ma and Jack being separated for the last act.]]
