3. Is Miss Skeeter single in the beginning of the book?

Answer: Yes

She once had a boy named Charles Gray as a study partner at Ole Miss in college. He had gotten drunk and kissed her and squeezed her so it felt wonderful instead of hurting.

5. What is Miss Skeeter's real name?

Answer: Eugenia

Ever since Miss Skeeter was born, her mother has been trying to convince people to call her Eugenia. The nickname fit when she was a child because of her nose that was pointy and beak-like. Her mother does not like nicknames.
