Only fourteen years old at the time, Marie trusts her impulses to get what she wants: Which was to be the first Indian reservation girl to become a saint. Marie is not of full Indian descent; she was very defensive about having some Native American relatives, telling the reader that she doesn't "have that much Indian blood" and was just as "light" as the other nuns were. In fact, she was so sensitive about that, eventually, she denied having any Native American blood, even with family members. Marie was raised in the bush, she only went to town for Sunday Mass and school. Marie didn’t seem to mind going to church because prayer is kind of a great equalizer and “she could pray with the best of them”, which meant it would be impossible for the nuns to reject or look down at her in disdain. The convent, on top of the highest hill, holds the strongest attraction for Marie.

From emancipation leading all the way to the 20th century, African American women struggled to find better opportunities outside of their agricultural laborer and domestic servant roles. In Cooking in Other Women’s Kitchens: Domestic Workers in the South, 1865-1960, author Rebecca Sharpless illustrates how African American women in the American South used domestic work, such as cooking, as a stepping stone from their old lives to the start of their new ones. Throughout the text, Sharpless is set out to focus on the way African American women used cooking to bridge slavery and them finding their own employment, explore how these women could function in a world of low wages, demanding work, and omnipresent racial strife, and refute stereotypes about these cooks. With the use of cookbooks, interviews, autobiographies, and letters from the women, Sharpless guides readers to examine the personal lives and cooking profession of these African American women and their ambition to support themselves and their families.
