[ED: Hardcover], [PU: SOUTHERN METHODIST UNIVERSITY], During the two days of the novel's present-time narrative, Margaret receives an unexpected phone call at the Juvenile Court where she works in Waycross, Georgia, and is faced with a tormenting decision, one that forces her to confront all the old griefs of her conflicted life. Margaret examines - with perplexity and wonder - the vast and rich array of her memories: of her young girlhood, growing up in the white slums of Jacksonville with three retarded siblings, a slow-witted mother, and a beloved father who ultimately betrays her of her removal from the squalor of Eighth Street by her wealthy maternal grandmother, who brings her at age twelve to the orderly and beautiful dairy farm she runs in Waycross.Versandfertig in 2-4 Wochen, [SC: 0.00]<
