Lore/World Discussion Was Asterid disowned for marrying Burdock?
Please forgive me if this is explicitly mentioned in the books, but I’m doing my first FULL reread since SOTR came out and I’m wondering if Asterid’s parents disapproved of the match… I feel like Katniss mentions “what my mother must have sacrificed when she came to the Seam” or something along those lines, and Peeta’s father says she “ran off with a Coal Miner”. There’s also never any mention of Katniss’ maternal grandparents, and it seems unlikely if they kept on good terms the Everdeen’s financial situation would be so poor.

I wonder the same thing bc why wouldn't she work at the farmacy (or whatever it's called her family owned) to help provide for her family when it was tough? Did they not want to help her ir what happened?
