She wrote <em>The Clan of One-Breasted Women</em> to reveal how this blind faith has led to the quiet observance of the deaths and sufferings of the women in her life.
She admits that though her family/ community's belief made everything seem fine. She remembers being taught that <em>"authority is respected, obedience is revered, and independent thinking is not."</em> She was also warned as a small girl not to <em>"make waves"</em> or <em>"rock the boat"</em>, which she had been doing until the cancer cases became more than she can simply let go. She came to realize how much damage has been done while she plays the silent spectator. She decides that her beliefs may not be the main cause of the deaths of the many beautiful people in her life. But being silent even after all the loss in her life is not something that she can endure anymore. This realization brought a change in her perspective on her Mormon faith.
