A major effect that Stella has on another character in the story is through her relationship with her daughter, Kennedy, and how she's raised to believe she's white: "She was raising Kennedy to lie too, although the girl would never know it. She was white; she would never think of herself as anything else" (Bennett 197).
What actions do they take?
A key event in the story is when Stella decides to leave Desiree to go with Blake: "One night, long ago in New Orleans, Blake had invited her to a work banquet...She told Desiree she had to work late and instead borrowed a dress from one of the other secretaries" (Bennett 220). If Stella didn't make this decision, she would never have left Desiree, and wouldn't have pretended to be white for her entire life.
