This story is about the interaction of a mother and her two daughters inwhich she came to realise the true worth of her daughter who she had been neglecting up to this point. on a larger scale it is about the clash of two different point of views in the dialouge among the African Americans about their heritage. the story was written at the time when more and more African American were drawn towards their African roots in the defiance of their so called "white masters' culture."
In the story the narrator who is the mother of two daughters travels a long journey in order to find her daughter who was up to this point was seen as someone worthless. The older daughter Dee was always given special treatment which made her confident and bold and opened her to the new culture of rebellion while Maggie was unable to overcome her shyness and remained quite and subversive.
