Miss Jane

Do you want to read a book about good people in a hard but beautiful world? On a small southern farm in 1915, Jane Chisholm is born with an affliction that sets her apart, and is likely to continue to do so. How will she make a life? It's a question she proves more capable of answering than many others around her (who all carry their own human afflictions), and in Watson's graceful, compassionate hands, the story of her development is lonely and melancholy and so radiant with wonder and resolve that you might be forgiven if you think you've found a tiny utopia on the rough ground of east-central Mississippi.
