i'm a few chapters into The Bean Trees, Barbara Kingsolver's first novel.
i was hoping i could get into Barbara's writing style and the main character's voice and i have.
i'm enjoying taylor greer's life so far. she escaped a life of drudgery in her unappealing hometown by hitting the road in a jalopy of an old VW bug. it gets her from point a to point b and the few meaningful pit stops along the way.
i wish i'd done something similar in my youth. but i was too busy chasing men back then. it's probably for the best tho. having a strange woman hand me a toddler then tell me to keep the baby would have freaked me out. i was not ready.
God knew what s/he was doing by keeping my eggs out of harm's way for so many years.
