After Mildred's birth her father left for Ohio to find a job and a house. He did this because he wanted his family to be in a place were his family would have more opportunities. After one month he found a job in Toledo, Ohio and one month after that they moved there. When Taylor was three months old, he brought his family to the North. It wasn't long before many members of Taylor's extended family followed her family to Ohio, and for much of her childhood, she was surrounded by aunts, uncles, and cousins.

Even though he lived in the North, Taylor's father never stopped loving the South and the family that remained behind in Mississippi, and throughout Taylor's childhood, he regularly took his wife and children to visit them. It was during those visits to Mississippi that Taylor learned about family history and storytelling, both of which would, years later, become essential to her writing career.

The telling of family stories was a regular feature of Taylor family gatherings. Family storytellers told about the struggles relatives and friends faced in a racist culture, stories that revealed triumph, pride, and tragedy. The stories inspired Taylor, and she still has a vivid recollection of the storytelling sessions.
