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 lightening, un unforeseen event can set us on a course without reason or compass.
