You learn that Toycie's mother left her when she was three, moved and married a Brooklyn man. I think Toycie's father died when she was little.

Bill Lamb is the father of Beka Lamb in the novel. He is basiccally the breadwinner of the family with an extreme temper.
Bill Lamb is considered to be Beka's Father and Lilla Lamb's husband in the novel, Beka Lamb. He has good intentions but could be seen as harsh as he calls Beka words like fake and phony.

It may be true to an extent, that Beka lamb is 'boring' to quote a few previous answers...but one must take the text-a literature text book, in context. It is a metaphor for Ms.Edgell. And yes, as some of my students attest, it is a book to put them to sleep. But it is about a Caribbean experience. In chapter 7, Beka does not lie to the grocer, Mr. Gordillo, if she has passed exams.The book is written in a series of flashbacks that makes it difficult to understand at first. Beka remembers her maternal grandfather. Beka learns that her maternal grandfather was living in the bush with a Mayan woman and he dreams of going to England because he is half English. This gives insight into the background of Beka Lamb, her cultural upbringing. Her grandfather questions her father about his patriotism. Granny Ivy and beka's mother also discuss the bouganvillea (recurring symbol)being cut down. This was Beka's first successful plant and that is symbolic for Granny Ivy.
In "Beka Lamb" no cause of death is given of why or what Granny Straker died of. One can only imagine, since this was Beka's mother's grandmother, that the cause may have just been natural causes and she had in face simply died of old age.
Beka Lamb is Bill Lam and Lilla Lamb daughter.
