Gloria finds out the truth about who her parents are and has to gain an understanding of why life as she knows it isn’t everything she thought it to be. 
.
Gloria really did the best she could during her time, with her limited resources and struggled keeping sight of who she truly is. The craziest thing is that they ended up moving into a house where prostitution was the name of the game. 

Umongst that, they were able to still make a mark in their community. Gloria and her sister, later in life, led separate lives. Though they still found time for each other. Identity played a big part in this story because who you came from was important to know - though the biggest lesson was that your parents identity doesn’t always have to shape who you are. 

Even in the whorehouse, Gloria still found a way to figure o out what she wanted out of life.
