The owners are treating her as, for instance, lower-class (which she is). It is a shame that she and Taylor have to call the owner’s Ms and Mr because she does not have as much money as the owners she’s cleaning for. As you can see, Taylor’s mom had to clean for houses and she and Taylor had to call the owners and the children Ms or Mr. Barbara Kingsolver mentions Taylor’s mom cleaning up houses and calling the owners Ms or Mr “ I stamped my foot and told my mother not call Marietta but miss Marietta, as I had to call all the people including children in the houses where she worked to miss this or mister”. As Taylor navigates the challenges of being a single mother, she learns about the resilience and strength required to care for a child, and the importance of creating a safe and loving home for her daughter. One of the most significant themes in the novel is motherhood, as Taylor finds herself unexpectedly caring for a young Cherokee girl she names Turtle. As she travels through different states, she encounters a diverse group of people who become her chosen family, including Lou Ann, a single mother struggling to raise her son, and Estevan and Esperanza, a Guatemalan couple who have fled their country in search of safety. Throughout the novel, Taylor learns the importance of family and community, and how they shape one’s sense of identity.
