At the age of seventeen, she escapes on a Greyhound bus to New York with her older sister; her younger siblings follow later. After pursuing the education and civilization her parents sought to escape, Jeanette eventually succeeds in her quest for the 'mundane, middle-class existence' she had always craved.

In her apartment, overlooked by a portrait of someone else's ancestor' she recounts poignant remembered images of star-watching with her father, juxtaposed with recollections of irregular meals, accidents, and police car chases and reveals her complex feelings of shame, guilt, pity, and pride toward her parents.
