This was very different from Poisonwood Bible and no where near as good.

'Book Club'

entry by...mclauer     updated...May 15, '07     spoilers...minor

Taylor Greer grew up poor in rural Kentucky with two goals: to avoid pregnancy and to get away. She succeeds on both counts when she buys a Volkswagon and heads west. But by the time she pulls up on the outskirts of Tucson at an auto repair shop called Jesus is Lord Used Tires that also happens to be a sanctuary for Central American refugees, she's "inherited" a three-year old American Indian girl named Turtle. Kingsolver is a very readable author.

'The Bean Trees Review'

entry by...drneevil     updated...May 21, '07     spoilers...n/a

This is a romp of a book - with feisty female leads, and a network of women each with a unique voice and character.

Taylor manages to survive mid-america without getting saddled with a kid. She takes a trip across the country, and is handed a child, clearly in need of care.

Their relationship and the people they meet along the way make for a fascinating story.
