1 answer

In Patricia Grace's short story "A Walk of Talking," Jane Fraser's sister is treated poorly by her family and community. She is constantly belittled, dismissed, and made to feel inadequate by those around her. Her family fails to acknowledge her worth and talents, and instead, they focus on her shortcomings and flaws. This mistreatment takes a toll on her self-esteem and ultimately drives her to leave her family behind and seek a new life elsewhere. The neglect and disrespect she faces highlight the damaging effects of toxic relationships and the importance of validation and support from loved ones.
