The main conflict, which revolves around Lily, is the internal conflict she faces as a result of the loss of her mother. Lily carries guilt about her mother's death, but she is unaware of the reason why.... she doesn't understand the way T-Ray treats her, and T-Ray never explains. Lily's conflict can be found in the journey she makes to find and forgive herself.... the jouney she makes to remember.... to find the meaning of "motherhood".
