Polly, Isabelle Derby, and Teenie serve as Amari's nurses after Mr. Derby beats her, working tirelessly to help Amari with salve, tea, and visits. Polly helps by spending much time with her friend. Teenie serves the girl with food, wound care, and a healing salve for her sores. Mrs. Derby brings peppermint tea, apologies, and kindness. All three women provide the type of support that Amari's friend Afi provided on the ship from Africa.
