Jack Kerouac was very devoted to his mother, and lived with her - or she with him - on and off throughout his life. The film depicts this fairly accurately. But in the book, the character representing his mother was identified as Sal's "aunt". She mostly served the purpose of someone Sal could call and ask to send money as he often found himself flat broke while on the road. Later novels explored their mother-son relationship in detail.
