Willow Wilton dreamed of traveling the world, but at age twenty-one and being illiterate, a high school dropout, and coming from a very poor family, that dream was not likely to happen in this lifetime. She had never been outside of Oakwood. Her passion to travel fueled her rich imagination with dreams of hosting a travel show. She saw herself in foreign lands, talking to a worldwide audience. Cecil, Willows oldest brother, thought he was clever to create an excuse to visit Baby at her new apartment one night. He started a fight to distract her, and without her realizing it, he had her extra apartment key in his pocket. The next day, Cecil found twenty-dollar bills under Babys mattress in her old room at home. He was not searching for money, but there it was. He filled three black garbage bags. It was her savings from three years of part-time work. He thought in some way that she owed him this money. After all, he was her teacher. He was the one who needed to talk some sense into her. She was a dreamer who thought she could travel; she didnt even own a car. Cecil often advised her, You need to get married and have some kids. You dont need to dream about traveling all over the world. Will Willow have the strength to battle her older brother? Can she keep going toward her dream while he is blocking her? The harder she tries to move toward her goal, the stronger he becomes. Maybe he is right. Maybe she should be like Ma.
