I never did finish this book. Although I enjoyed the description of Early 20th century Rural Kentucky Life, I just found it a little too depressing to go on.

What other novel about quintuplets born to a radically changed woman in the year 1900 would satisfy you so much? This author is terrific in her character descriptions, a sort of "country singer of the page," as one reviewer put it. An engaging story, a good read.

...Cristie is a salt-of-the-Earth woman who gives birth to quintuplets. She and her family are well-intentioned, but ill-equipped to handle the needs of five babies. This story held my attention with its backwoods language and superstitions about women and babies.
