Hopefully Jeanette will learn to accept her mother's way of life. She doesn't have to agree with it, but learn that happiness is the key to life. Whether that is dumpster diving or living on Park Ave.
 
The first 3 pages are very revealing. It takes all her feelings and puts them out there. It takes away the mystery without giving the book away! very smart on Walls part
 
I think that the mother is right about not being embarassed of her family. Just because people are different doesn't mean anything. After all it is her mother
 
After reading the first 3 pages fo the book, I do not want to put it down. So much is happeneing. We start to learn about the type of character the main character is. I found it strange, it's so different compared to our lives. I can't wait to keep reading
