For all those who loved Bastard out of Carolina, here is a powerful new voice in women's literature--and a heroine readers will never forget. Jael is a survivor. She will survive even River Bill. The voices she hears--voices of women both real and imagined--will make her stronger every day. And one day she will understand that they were all a part of what will become her own voice.

Description

Jael hears voices. Some are real, like the voices of the others in her incest-survivor group, or the homeless woman she meets at the laundry. Some are more mysterious, like the Virgin Mary's. Jael was born into a hard life, but she's a survivor, growing stronger all the time. Waiting for the day when the only voice she needs is her own.

So I was a ward of the court, and I slept on a cot in the basement of the Pentecostal church until old River Bill, a recently widowed deacon, offered to take me in. The church lady who came to bring me food and extra clothes delivered the news. As she picked nits out of my hair, she said it was a miracle from God that a man like River Bill would take a wild girl like me to raise as his own daughter . . .
