"From Miss Corrine, the hairdresser, the narrator learns the truth about her mother along with some advice: "If you got to dance or dream or anything at all, take it a step at a time and don't let nothing and nobody get in your way when you doing right." There's Miss Tom, "who was not a pretty woman,, she was handsome like a man," and Uncle Buck, who tells her, "Sometimes I love Jesus and sometimes I think he hard of hearing."..."
