This book was very good. A nice wholesome novel. It is an Oprah Club book.....In the backwoods of Mississippi, Jewel and her husband are truly blessed; they have 5 children. When Brenda Kay is born in 1943, Jewel gives thanks for a healthy baby, the last born and most welcome. This is the story of how quickly life can change, how an unforeseen event can set us on a course without reason or compass. This is a story of a womans devotion to the child who is both her burden and God's singular way of smiling on her.
