Mama's recollections introduce us to Dee and explain the family dynamics. When Dee gets out of the car, we aren't surprised by her dress or her actions..... she's exactly as Mama remembers. What we don't know is if Mama will be able to resist the demands and desires of her oldest daughter.... deferring to her, as she is stronger willed than her younger sister. Mama makes us proud.
