A hard story, but also a story about generational trauma and its effects. There’s also the thing of how awful actions can catch up with you. The Orisha gods are figured prominently in this in a way that is both scary and healing.  Ti-Jeanne is always led by her emotions, but in the end, she’s able to overcome them and take ownership of her thoughts and actions.
