Before marrying Nathan, Orleanna was a person full of life. When she married Nathan she no longer was able to live the way she had been living in the past. She had to take care of her four daughters on her own because Nathan was hardly ever around. She never had anytime to do what she wanted to do. Her husband Nathan turned her into a passive wife that never stood up for herself.
Orleanna was so passive, she even let her husband move the family to Congo. You could tell she really missed her home in Georgia when she couldn't even cook her daughter a birthday cake because the mix turned hard as a rock. While in Congo Orleanna never seemed happy, to the point she felt she couldn't even keep her own kids happy.
Orleanna lost a piece of her heart when her daughter Ruth May passed away after being bit by a poisonous snake. She felt horrible after this and she starts to think that she should have put her daughters on the plane out of Congo when she had the chance. This causes her to crack, she leaves her husband and returns to her home in Georgia.
She didn't just love her lose her home physically in the move to Congo, but also mentally when she married Nathan. He just brought her down and exiled her from the two things she loved most besides her daughters, life and Georgia.
