520 _aIn 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.
