The premise of Beka Lamb is based on Beka's achievement of winning the essay contest. Her family's thoughts of her changes overnight as she went from a 'flat-rate Belize creole' to a 'high mind'. It also describes the surroundings, state of living, ( which is middle class ), and politics. Also, to keep in mind the 1st chapter is placed after Toycie died from the mango tree.
