KEY CONCEPTS

Family Education Relationships Overcoming Adversity

FAMILY

Great great great grandma Very religious Daisy was always supportive of the here kids and always

faithful that here kids would become successful. Donald was not as supportive “ If I’d asked my father, my

mother says, he would have replied we have no money” (Page 275).

Education is very important to Daisy Hard to get a good education in Jamaica at that time period. Joyce seems to have to work a lot harder in school than Faith.
