From the Publisher
In the backwoods of Mississippi, a land of honeysuckle and grapevine, Jewel and her husband, Leston, are truly blessed; they have five fine children. When Brenda Kay is born in 1943, Jewel gives thanks for a healthy baby, last-born and most welcome. Jewel is the story of how quickly a life can change; how, like lightning, an unforeseen event can set us on a course without reason or compass. In this story of a woman's devotion to the child who is both her burden and God's singular way of smiling on her, Bret Lott has created a mother-daughter relationship of matchless intensity and beauty, and one of the finest, most indomitable heroines in contemporary American fiction.

I picked this book up a few months ago down in Charleston, SC. I'm pretty sure I found it just moments after it was left on King Street. I have taken it to Europe with me to Sardinia (Italy) and Istanbul, Turkey. It was a slow start, but really picked up after about a hundred pages; however, the Southern dialect it is written in takes a while to get used to. I'm glad Oprah liked it, but I only finished it because I wanted to contribute to Book Crossing.
