Cosy nights in
In the book, Hager speaks about the love her mother had for her as a child. She reminisces about her childhood, using imagery to describe cosy nights in with her family: "After baths every night, hair wet, pajama-clad, we danced around the house to the Pointer Sisters." This imagery depicts Hager's home life as being fun and comfortable.
Like mother, like daughter
Hager explains how she has often been compared to her mother due to their physical resemblance. She uses imagery to describe this, saying that: "our voices ring with the same Texas twang; we have similar cheekbones; we were both teachers and love to read."
Unconditional love
Describing her unconditional love for her daughters, Hager uses imagery to emphasize her overwhelming feelings: "It is my mama who taught me how to be a mom, but it is you, my darlings, who are teaching me what it means to be a mom. When I old you at night, singing the same songs your Gramme sand to me, I am filled with unconditional love." This imagery ultimately is used to describe how much she Hager loves her daughters.
