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 a story of how quickly a life can change; how like lightening, an unforseen event can set us on a course without reason or compass. In this story of a woman's devotion to a child who is both her burden and God's singular way of smiling on her, Brett Lott has created a mother-daughter relationship of matchless intensity and beauty, and one of the finest, most indomitable heroines in contempoary American fiction.
