Amy DeLuca is the single mother of Maria DeLuca, and the love interest of Jim Valenti, whom she first met at a protest to protect Native American architecture, when he arrested her. He later revealed, that he only arrested her because she was the only one he really noticed, and because she was cute. It is loudly implied that Amy had a rebellious streak as a teenager, and that's how she wound up being a mother at such a young age. She got caught in a whirlwind romance with a man who was no good for her, Maria's father, and she says that she doesn't regret a minute of it, because she wound up with her.
