The mother may be the birth mother and be related by blood but she sure doesn’t show any love toward her handicapped daughter that she abandoned. The dull and tasteless tone/style of the story express the love between Linda and her adopted and birth family. The tone never really changes; it always stays in a slightly sad and depressing language. Through out the whole paper there is very little description. When Linda is talking about how clean her mother Betty tried the kids and how dirty the dad always got them, she just says exactly that and nothing more; “Betty was always trying to keep us clean, and Albert was always getting us

Fred taught me how to communicate heart to heart and soul to soul. Fred was someone that I grew up watching as a child I loved to watch his show Mr.Roger’s Neighborhood everyday that I could. He always spoke in a kind manner and had the ability to show how much he cared for people and children. One incident from my childhood I remember very plainly was the day that I broke my right wrist. I was over at a friend’s house and we were playing in her room and we decided that it would be fun to swing from the top bunk to the bottom, well it was my turn and when I went to swing, my hand slipped and to the floor I flew.

She is the most caring and giving woman you could ever meet. This is all why facing the fact that I could possibly loose her so soon was a very scary time in my life. It was a couple years ago, I was about ten or eleven, maybe younger, young enough for my mother to keep my brother and I in the dark about the whole matter until it was almost over. My grandmother was going to the doctors a lot, I thought nothing of it because it was normal with her asthma and other medical conditions. What wasn’t normal was that she was sad, very sad.
The book showcases how Hogan in her struggle through illness and healing finds love in pain and a spiritual refuge in her ancestral past. Hogan’s life from childhood appeared to be a battle for love. Her father, an army sergeant was always travelling and her mother, silent and dry had no intention of showering her daughter with the love and affection she needed. “I see that my life was shaped by a poverty of the heart, the lack of present love, which left me open to love from other places, because I was a child untouched by mother’s hands, a child so disturbed as to have had almost no language” (43). This resulted in her getting involved with an older man at the tender age of twelve.
Maggie’s mother was also older and better suited to be a mother because she was older and more experienced however, Maggie’s father also left the family. Maggie turned out to be shy and refrained from social life since she did not leave the house after being burned. “She stoops down quickly and lines up picture after picture of me sitting in front of the house with Maggie cowering behind me” (Walker 746). Too much attention leads to Maggie clinging to her mother and not enough attention drives Emily to not seek out a close relationship with her mother. Both mothers are concerned with the status of their daughters.

Maggie selflessly insists that her sister can have the quilts (128). Maggie is also not a very strong character; instead she stays in the background most every situation that she can. For example, Dee and her friend rapidly approached the house in their car. “Maggie attempts to make a dash for the house…” but her mother quickly takes hold of her, making sure that she does not escape. Maggie was very uneasy around her sister; her mother tells her anxiousness in regard to Dee’s visitation: “Maggie will be nervous until after her sister goes: she will stand hopelessly in corners, homely and ashamed of the burn scars down her arms and legs, eyeing her sister with a mixture of envy and awe” (119).
