Cee- "Mamas are supposed to spank and rule you so you grow up knowing right from wrong. Grandmothers, even when they've been hard on their own children, are forgiving and generous to the grandchildren. Ain't that so?...Well, that's the way grandmothers should be, she thought, but for little Ycidra Money it wasn't like that at all." Page 43

Lenore - "Lenore took it as a very bad sign for Cee's future that she was born on the road. Decent women, she said, delivered babies at home, in a bed attended by good Christian women who knew what to do...only street women, prostitutes, went to hospitals when they got pregnant..." Page 44
Underground Railroad Allusions - Instead of going North to Freedom, Frank is going South not because he wants to but because he has to, "I don't miss anything about that place except the stars.
