Where the Heart Is by Billie Letts

Where the Heart Is by Billie Letts
Wow. Just wow. This is a well written, touching story. It begins when pregnant, 17 year old Novalee Nation's boyfriend leaves her at a Wal-Mart in Oklahoma on their way to California. The story follows Novalee as she makes a life for herself and her daughter and how they make a home and friends in the town where they live. It is filled with joy, and hope, sorrow and pain, love and life, death and sadness. Covering seven years, we see Novalee and her friends and loved ones grow and mature. This book made me laugh and cry.
