The listing, The Bean Trees Barbara Kingsolver has ended.
Meet Taylor Greer. Clear-eyed and spirited, she grew up very poor i rural Kentucky with two goals: to avoid pregnancy and to get away. She succeeded on both counts when she buys a '55 Volkswagen and heads west. But by the time our plunky if unlikely heroine pulls up on the outskirs of Tuscon, Arizona, at an auto report shop called Jesus Is Lord Used Tires that also happens to be a sanctuary for Central American refugees, she's "inherited" a three-year-old American Indian girl named Turtle. What follows - as Taylor meets the human condition head on - is at the heart of this memorable novel about love and friendship, abandonment and belongong, and the discovery of surprising resources in apparently empty places.
