In South Carolina, Jackie comes to fall in love with the South, despite all the bad that is going on. She comes to love her grandparents deeply, and comes to learn about God, hard work, and self-respect through them. She also comes to love the South not only for reasons of family, but because of the land –the way the air smells of dew and pine, the summer humidity, and being able to go places or simply be outside at home. Mary Ann, however, decides to move to New York, as many others from the South are headed North. Settled in, and with a new baby named Roman, Mary Ann brings Jackie, Dell, and Hope to New York. Jackie is very sad to leave her grandparents behind, and longs for home in the South. She feels trapped between two worlds –New York and Greenville, the North and the South –and loves returning to South Carolina for the summers to visit her grandparents. While Jackie does not like New York, she becomes best friends with a girl named Maria, and later in New York, comes to realize she wants to be a writer. It is a dream that she will pursue her entire life, and will make come true.
