Publisher's Synopsis

The bestselling debut novel by Barbara Kingsolver, winner of the Pulitzer Prize and twice winner of the Women's Prize for Fiction



Plucky Taylor Greer grows up poor in rural Kentucky with two goals: to avoid pregnancy and to get away. She succeeds on both counts when she buys an old car and heads west. But midway across the country, motherhood catches up with her when she becomes guardian of an abandoned baby girl she calls Turtle. In Tucson they encounter an extraordinary array of people, and with their help Taylor builds herself an her sweet, stunned child a life.
