Jewel - Paperback
by Bret Lott (Author)
Jewel is the story of how quickly a life can change; how, like lightning, an unforeseen event can set us on a course without reason or compass.
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. In this story of a woman's devotion to the child who is both her burden and God's singular way of smiling on her, Bret Lott has created a mother-daughter relationship of matchless intensity and beauty, and one of the finest, most indomitable heroines in contemporary American fiction.Bret Lott, a native of Los Angeles, California, is the author of several highly acclaimed novels and two collections of short stories, and a memoir. He lives with his wife and two sons near Charleston, South Carolina, and teaches at the College of Charleston and Vermont College.
