 Alliterative Family: All of Mildred Story's children have names starting with the letter A, presumably to match their father Abraham. Adam, the eldest, is the only one who continues it into the next generation.

 Abusive Parents: Adam Story is the emotional variety towards his daughter Aubrey, treating her well only if he feels she's appropriately worshipful towards him and withholding affection if he feels she has displeased him.

comment
 Amoral Attorney: The Story family lawyer enacted and enforced the disinheriting of the Story children without a word of explanation. Covering up Mildred Story's death and impersonating her to access the family estate was also his idea.
