by Sue Monk Kidd. A highly requested book at our bookstore. I usually don't like to follow the crowd or read every book that Oprah recommends, but a co-worker also recommended this one and I found it interested me from the beginning. A young girl loses her mother and runs away from home escaping her abusive father. She finds love and "home" in a place where society tells her she can't or shouldn't find happiness. It's a love story and a path of self-discovery and addresses social issues of the 50's and 60's. There are some controversial parts including their folk religion, but the story is inspiring and worth the read. Thin book, approximately 300 pages...could easily be read in a weekend. Recommended by Kelly at work.
