Households and Their People
Westcott/Magotti
• Sydney Westcott
• Raisa Westcott
• Rex Magotti
Raisa lives with her boyfriend, Rex. Her estranged husband, Sydney, often shows up. Rex insists he is “the only husband she needs,” although they are not legally married. Raisa thus refers to herself as “that girl with two husbands.” The loss of Sydney’s excellent income as a lawyer has been tough and has left her looking for work. Rex makes good (but not great) money as a health professions teacher at nearby Las Palomas Community College.
Daniels
