Just when you think your own life is hard and unfair, you read a book like this and realize you have it pretty damn good and had better shut up and stop whining.

Every sentence is a work of art and if I jotted down my favorite quotes I'd be re-writing the whole book. It's just that good.

Definitely goes on my Favorites shelf.

Now I need to find the movie starring Farrah Fawcett.

A very good book, I'm glad I read it. I may read it again, now that I know how everything turns out.
It is about a family struggling to survive in wartime and post WWII deep South (Mississippi) They are working hard and managing by selling pine stumps to the turpentine plant for the military, until the war ended, and their sixth child was born. A daughter with Downs Syndrome, in the days when such children were called Mongoloid, and when African Americans were called the "n" word, with no malice intended, just cultural and systemic racism.
It is a family saga, continuing through the years until Jewel, the mother, is an old woman and her children grown, except the youngest, who never grew up even though she was middle aged, physically.
