Beverly Matuomi

One was a woman, Beverly McCall. She was black as the ace of spades and as beautiful as the sin you never had nerve enough to commit. She put up with six years of her husband beating her, but wouldn't put up with his creeping around for a single day.

Beverly’s earlier married name is McCall; she later takes Matuomi.

Woman whose death sentence is commuted and who later becomes a librarian.
