(Bret) Jewel: A Novel New York: Pocket Books, 1991. 360 p. n/29090 In the backwoods of Mississippi, a land of honeysucle 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. 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 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 motherdaughter relationship of matchless intensity and beauty, and one of the finest, most indomitable heroines in contemporary American fiction. 20260805123650.0 5903 5903 0 0 0 0 UWED UWED ANT 2013-05-21 0 810 L-92 000000024611 2026-08-05 12:36:50 2026-08-05 BK
