that film was very disturbing to me, but very impactful – still don’t quite understand the question though – if anything, the main character (Annie) was a weak female who sacrificed the welfare of her daughter for a man’s love – the daughter (Bone) ended up being the stronger female, because she was able to walk away from her mother in order to survive. maybe something along that line will help you – weak mother willing to accept any kind of man, even one that would abuse her daugther vs. strong daughter who is willing to go without a mother in her life in order to live an abuse-free future.

Through the often heart-wrenching story of Ruth Anne “Bone” Boatwright, Allison reveals the struggles of a young girl coming of age in Appalachian South Carolina. While Bone’s life often seems bleak, she is able to survive the harshest of childhoods — and, by the novel’s close, even finds some form of redemption by understanding herself. In Bone’s story, Allison also offers a view into how religion, family, violence, gender roles, alcoholism, music and community function as parts of Appalachian society.
