具体描述
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.

读后感
西方人的家庭观总会让我觉得和国人差别很大,若是按照我的理解来区分,大概国人的血亲观念要远强于西方,前者在乎落叶归根,后者在乎社会关系,所以我们会喜欢往里走,而他们则爱向外看。 《豆树青青》写成于芭芭拉·金索沃成名之间,而与《毒木圣经》相似,本书同样是作者从女...
篇幅不长,花两天的时间读完了,为什么选择这本是因为我关注的公众微信号看理想推荐的,刚好有一期是讲述女性的成长,大约我也需要这样的心灵鸡汤,所以就读了。故事情节比较简单,其实我更感兴趣的是涉及美国的一些非法移民,两性问题,父母与子女,陌生人之间的关系等关注点...
