Her son's vision also shows her as a charismatic speaker, delivering a pep rally to Sean that he is a far better man than his father.

Sean
Sean is Tricia's son, whom she raised with her husband Marcus until the latter abused her and Sean threw him out of the household. Unlike her husband, she deeply loves Sean and provides him a healthy upbringing after the abuse they suffered from Marcus. It is revealed in Book 2, Chapter 14 that Sean helped her move into the closest apartment to Hartfeld Stadium just so that they could spend time together during Sean's college years. Sean was distraught at the burnt remains and implied death of his mother in this dystopian future the group "returned" to and was determined to fix it.
