From a notoriously cool culture, my protagonist seeks the love of her parents and community on a daily basis. It becomes a struggle that she will not win and it becomes clear to her at a very young age. Leaving the "security" of the only life she has known is a choice that brings her conflict and distress...but also the love that she has sought her whole life. While hers is a grander more obvious choice taking her from constraints to freedom, we all have faced similar choices.
For her, the remnants of her past can be re-knit together for the "fabric" of her new family. Adding bits of new pieces of colorful textured cloth to the old mix of the re-knit family, she has created a new life for herself....one frought with the difficulties of surviving the re-building process. Not everyone has her ability to forgive or to change the definition of one's life. She feels blessed to have that gift....and old hold over from her humble beginning.
She uses the pieces of new cloth to fill in the cracks in her broken heart, and evolves renewed of spirit and blissfully aware of her purpose.
