Carolina in the 1950s, and Bone - christened Ruth Anna Boatwright - lives a happy life, in and out of her aunt's houses, loving her little sister Reece and her beautiful young mother. But Glen Waddell has been watching them all, wanting her mother too, and when he promises a new life for the family, her mother gratefully accepts.
For anyone who has ever felt the contempt of a self-righteous world, this book will resonate within you like a gospel choirFor anyone who hasn't, this book will be an education * Barbara Kingsolver *
