She was tired of seeing the same thing among different authors, so her literary work were meant to stand out from the rest.
The failure of the novel, however, was not the worst disaster for Hurston that year. It was Sarah who wrote to Zora that their father had remarried. Lucie County Welfare Home, in Fort Pierce.

It is clear that Isie's charms will take her places, and perhaps not all of them good.
