Maureen Walls is the daughter of Rex Walls and Rose Mary Walls. Never being around her sibling or parents, Maureen Walls was always with her friend's family, sleeping over, going out with them and eating with them. Not much spoken of within the book until the very end, the youngest member of the Walls family ended up being in the worst situation out of all of them. She started using drug substances when she dropped out of high school in New York. Her mother, who insisted that she was fine at the time, said all she need was fresh air and sunshine, while Jeannette looked for people that would help her sister. But they only said that if she was a danger to anyone and by court order, it would be the only way they would be able to help her. Jeannette pretty much got what she wanted because 6 months later, Maureen stabbed their mother when she suggested that she should go out and find herself a life instead of being locked up and smoking cigarettes all day. Jeannette finally realized that all Maureen ever wanted was someone to take care of her since she was always being taken cared of when she was little. Something that her sisters and brother never had. They have always tried to take care of themselves. When Maureen arrived to New York, the Wall siblings never even had the chance to take care of her since they were busy taking care of themselves to be noticing other people's struggles.
