Book Reviews of Jewel (Oprah's Book Club)
Book Review: Realistic portrayal of parents struggling with retardation
Summary: 4 Stars
Jewel is a woman who earns our respect for the sacrifices she is willing to make to ensure that her Brenda Kay has the best opportunity to aquire skills and knowledge despite her retardation. Less admirable, but a sympatheic character nonetheless, is Leston, whose pride is injured by his failure to be financialy successful, and by losing what he perceives to be his head-of-the-household status. Lott has written a compelling novel that disappointingly loses steam in its final chapters when decisions must be made for the future.
