Just because she didn't get the quilts, she forgets everything her mother had done for her all the sacrifice she made for her and tells her that she never seemed to understand her or their culture. "My mother believed you could be anything you wanted to be in America. They think anything is possible over here. What happened to Dee? I wanted to know.
