Yorkie St. George (60) is the formidable matriarch of one of Charleston’s most prolific families, a woman determined to preserve an enduring legacy. Savannah’s former mother-in-law, she’s fiercely protective of the St. George name and its reputation. A dangerous opponent, her word is law within the community; a harsh judgment can mean the difference between access and exile. She’s an elitist snob obsessed with strict etiquette and suitable breeding. Intently religious, her a cutting attitude is veiled by a polite smile and quiet intimidation.
