In this story, set in the 1960s, a mother tells about a visit from her daughter Dee, to the family’s rural Southern home. Dee has adopted a different, bright, style of dress and Muslim way of greeting her family. Narration and dialogue reveal character traits as tension builds among Mama, Dee, and the younger daughter, Maggie, who is physically and emotionally scarred from a long-ago house fire.
