Jordan is LaTisha’s 10-year-old son. The youngest child, Jordan takes after his father, Trey, and is already a troublemaker. When LaTisha’s estranged father, Glenmore, shows back up in their lives, Jordan takes to him immediately, and, for his sake, LaTisha lets her father back into her life. Jordan’s story is a lesson in generational trauma. Without a father figure, Jordan acts out just as LaTisha did when her father disappeared. Thus, LaTisha’s decision to forgive Glenmore represents her desire to break that cycle of generational trauma that left her vulnerable.
