Considering the setting of this story, Emily was born at the beginning of depression and to add to her troubles, her father left the mother because he couldn't endure the hardship of those days. This story truly portrays the reality of the pains and difficulties single mothers go through to raise their children. As a teenage mother and and a single parent for that matter, Emily's mother needed to look for a job considering the time period and cater for her daughter which caused the separation between mother and a daughter and also might have lost the bound between them.
Also,the story of the story had a significant effect on Emily's mother, which affected the love and the affection she was supposed to show to her daughter. She was depressed due to her condition and also under estimated her capabilities of catching up with her daughter, she always relied on time thinking that it was to late to undo what she has already done or to be there for Emily.
This affected Emily negatively, considering her looks being different as compared to her sister and the other kids, not getting her mother's attention and also trying to adjust with a new daddy whom she suppose to learn to love.
