[talk about an environment Ana had no idea about. so very different from her relatively peaceful life. granted, her biological father died the day after she was born, but her mother married Ray in short order and Ray adopted her, becoming her real dad, someone she knew she could always turn to in a pinch to the point where when her mother married husband # 3 and moved to Las Vegas, Ana moved back in with Ray. normal enough. peaceful enough. people she knew had their tragedies, but her grandparents all passed without Ana being old enough to remember the loss.
