Product Description
Clear-eyed and spirited, Taylor Greer grew up poor in rural Kentucky with the goals of avoiding pregnancy and getting away. But when she heads west with high hopes and a barely functional car, she meets the human condition head-on. By the time Taylor arrives in Tucson, Arizona, she has acquired a completely unexpected child, a three-year-old American Indian girl named Turtle, and must somehow come to terms with both motherhood and the necessity for putting down roots. Hers is a story about love and friendship, abandonment and belonging, and the discovery of surprising resources in apparently empty places. Available for the first time in mass-market, this edition of Barbara Kingsolver's bestselling novel, The Bean Trees, will be in stores everywhere in September. With two different but equally handsome covers, this book is a fine addition to your Kingsolver library.

Kamala Krishnan (Fort Wayne, IN United States)
Barbara Kingsolver is a favorite author with an easy style addressing many social and political issues with a light but serious touch. This book is no exception with a poignant story of an young woman of the earth seeking to make a life of her own remaining true to her roots and beliefs.

I loved this story, couldn't put it down. Barbara Kingsolver writes in such an amazingly detailed and colorful way that you can't help but become wrapped up in the story. This was a really lovely read.

T. L. Babcock (Nebraska)
My book club chose The Bean Trees as our monthly read and I was pleasantly surprised. It was a delightful, refreshing book about life, love, loss and the ability to overcome.
If you like Fannie Flagg and Billie Letts then you will enjoy The Bean Trees.
One of the Best Books of the '80's September 17, 2008

This is an incredible book, well-written, fun, moving, and gritty. Its truth and comments about the human condition are well blended into an easy-to-read indelible mark on your soul.
