When Lozette was a younger girl, she had been brought to the new world with her mother. Later, her mother died and left her blanket to Lozette. Later in Lozette's life, she discovers that her blanket may have been from a certain part of Africa. And finally, Lozette makes one of her goals to visit her homeland and discover more about herself.

This story is easily connected to different subjects. Obviously, this story can be connected to history. Lozette herself lives in the time where France and Britain are battling over the New World's lands. Though subtle, this story can also connect to science. Several times through out the story, small pox is mentioned. The author speaks of how small pox was sent to purposely contaminate the native american nation. In order to contaminate the native americans, they purposely sent out blankets covered in small pox germs.
