Ona and Suzanne find themselves locked in battle, each
too proud and damaged to ask for help. Suzanne punishes her mother by hiding the
obedient, devout Suzanne of Jamaica and creating a new, urban Suzanne-hard,
rebellious, and detached. It is only when Ona, overwhelmed by worldly pressures,
becomes utterly lost that Suzzanne allows her true self to emerge- strong,
resourceful, and able to rebuild her mother's shattered hopes.
