Interpretation In Favor Of Books The Bean Trees (Greer Family #1)

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.

A gently told story of the power of love, of how the families we make are as important as the ones we're born into. Each of us can make a difference with our compassion.

ok this sucks. boring. terrible writing. overly schmaltzy. i give up. i give up on barbara kingsolver. i LOVED "the poisonwood bible." one of my favorites. i abhorred "animal, vegetable, miracle." i am one of those people that HAS to finish every book i start, but I couldn't get past page 150. i was hoping that it was just her attempt at nonfiction that failed, but now i can't get page 150 of this either. i'm starting to think "the poisonwood bible" was a fluke. no more barbara for me. no more.

This Book was pleasantThings i like:1.Female relationships, very strong i know Taylor wouldn't have made it without them. I love the relationship between Taylor and Turtle. This book is filled with motherly love.2. Struggles- Very realistic (for her time) struggles. The book was truthful and lovable. The struggles were difficult because Taylor was dealing with something that she really wanted to avoid which is having a child. Taylor was always running away from every teenage girls practical fate

So many things about this book bugged me.1. Someone abandons a baby in your car and you don't get ahold of the police.2. Someone abandons a baby, in your broken down car, you don't have a home or money or a destination in mind, so you decide to adopt baby.3. You decide to adopt baby, but you spent the next several years being so bewildered by motherhood that you might as well have left baby in the car to be raised by coyotes.4. Americans in general are directly responsible for the torture of

When I first read this book several years ago, I was terribly impressed by 1) her writing style, which I really like - I wish I could write like that2) the interesting plot of a single girl who had avoided teenage pregnancy through her young life only to end up with someone else's baby3) the relationship she has with her mother, who believes her daughter "hung the moon in the sky" and can absolutely do no wrong. I think it would be wonderful if my daughters came out of their childhoods not

A girl gets out of her small town, after high school, to start a new life only to be saddled with a random child that was placed in her car. Her life is suddenly taking turns she did not expect.

The Bean Trees by Barbara Kingsolver is the older twin of a book I read a year ago called Pigs in Heaven. As the first book of the duo, it chronicles the flight of Taylor Greer from a small, hick lifestyle to a freer life she didn't expect. Basically, Taylor's managed to be educated and not get pregnant when she finally takes her car across the country. But one night in a bar, a mysterious Indian woman gives her a young girl. Suddenly, Taylor finds that she's a single mother with no prospects.
