Roberts explores how one individual's recollections of counsel received from her grandmother, mother, and stepfather cause her to pass it on to others. Most of the counsel was based on the ethnic background of her mother and grandmother, who are from Guatemala. Family, respect, and virtue are some of the main subjects of advice that have had a lasting influence on her life. Created by Anne Roberts while enrolled in Eric Eliason's English 392 class during winter semester of 2003 at Brigham Young University.
