An Oprah Book and NYT Bestseller. In the backwoods of Mississippi, Jewel and her husband are blessed with five fine children. When Brenda Kay is born, Jewel's life quickly changes and a mother-daughter relationship of matchless intensity and beauty is born. Characters are compared to those by Steinbeck and Harper Lee.
