What is the main conflict in Corregidora by Gayl Jones?

Ursa is a singer at Happy's club but her husband, Mutt, doesn't like it, saying that the men touch Ursa with their eyes. They argue one evening and Ursa "falls" down the steps, though she later reveals that Mutt threw her down. She loses the baby she is carrying and has to have surgery to remove her womb. The owner of Happy's, Tadpole McCormick, agrees to take her home, takes her to his place and bans Mutt from Happy's. Tadpole cares for Ursa until she recovers and she agrees to marry him soon after her divorce is finalized.
