She started writing letters to God and from that is how the first half of the book is told. Her stepfather takes her two children from her and gives them to one of his friends while they’re babies without telling her. Her father refuses consent for Nettie to marry a man but gives Cetie away to him instead. Since he didn’t get the wife he wanted he abuses her while they are married.
