What is Jewel : a Novel about?

<p>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. <i>Jewel</i> 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 mother-daughter relationship of matchless intensity and beauty, and one of the finest, most indomitable heroines in contemporary American fiction.</p> <p>In this masterful portrayal of a mother's heartbreak and her devotion to a child who is both a blessing and a burden, Bret Lott takes a quantum leap forward. He transports readers to the backwoods of Mississippi, to 1943 and to the subject of truly great novels -- love's redemptive power. </p>
