| 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. |
