Kin is the story of a young girl who learns she can't depend on her parents--or anyone else--for stability. This piece follows her journey as she deals with one tragicomic event after another and, in the process, develops a thicker shell. The story takes place in a small Alabama town--the perfect place for my main character to sort out her identity as a woman, a Southerner, and a part of the world at large. / A Dissertation submitted to the Department of English in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. / Spring Semester, 2012. / February 24, 2012. / childhood, family / Includes bibliographical references. / Elizabeth Stuckey-French, Professor Directing Dissertation; Tricia Young, University Representative; Maxine Montgomery, Committee Member; David Kirby, Committee Member.
