Shirley E. (luvantiques) -
Helpful Score: 1
I've had this book on my TBR shelf for some time, but couldn't seem to get it read. Finally I picked it up one snowy day and read it in one day!!
I had never read any of Barbara Kingsolver's novels until this one. It definitely won't be the last one. I love her style of writing.. insightful, witty and so true-to-life.
Taylor Greer, a young, unmarried woman, finds herself the mother of a young girl who has been given to her, literally, by a woman in a parking lot. She adopts her, raises her and loves her as only a mother could. When Turtle [the young girl] is almost 6 years old, Taylor finds out the the adoption was not legal because Turtle is Cherokee and the adoption was not approved by the Cherokee Nation.
What transpires is the basis for the rest of the book, a heartwarming, insightful and funny book that will bring tears to your eyes and a good feeling when you've finished the last page.
