Not as good as Ellen Foster, but if you like realistic, harsh fiction where beauty is mixed with ugliness, you'll really enjoy this. Gibbons is amazing and creating characters that feel like they had a long history before she began writing. She's also a master at writing Southern dialect.

A true love story with no wooing and courting, but where two people face reality and know they other can help them get through this world.
