Editing Jasmine Ellingson (section)

===Relationships===
Jasmine has a close loving relationship with her children, [[Booker]] and [[Lucy]]. She also has a good relationship with Lucy's friends, especially [[Verona]].

Jasmine's husband died many years ago. More recently she dated [[Paul]], and they had a great relationship for five years, getting engaged and buying a house together. However, Paul's family were racist and didn't like that he was dating a black woman, and he chose to take his family's side and abandoned Jasmine and her family.

Her parents were strict and authoritarian, in order to get away she followed in her mothers foot steps and went into nursing.<ref>“My mom was a nurse.  I was just at the cusp of that era, they were telling us we could be anything, but if you asked my parents, they didn’t really mean it.  A woman could be a teacher or a nurse.  My parents were terrors.  Bad grade, out past curfew?  Bend me over the knee and give me a whupping.  I guess I didn’t want to test things, so I took my mom’s cue.  It helped me get away, I met the man who’d be my husband, delayed the last part of nursing school to raise the kids, and then my husband passed.”- [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2021/10/02/summer-break/ Excerpt] from [[Summer Break (chapter)|Summer Break]]</ref>

Her husbanded died from hepatitis, transmitted from a friend of his. Doctors failed to spot the signs, possible due to racial differences.<ref>“Hepatitis, from close work with a coworker who was doing some dirty jobs.  The doctors didn’t listen to him, didn’t see the signs.  Booker found him.”- [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2021/10/02/summer-break/ Excerpt] from [[Summer Break (chapter)|Summer Break]]</ref>
