The Bean Trees (beginning)

The Bean Trees by Barbara Kingsolver is my first book.  It is a fiction book and is considered an adult novel.  I believe this book will be a "just-right" read for me.  I was recommended this book by my mother.  She said that she loved it and read it in college.  I decided to give it a try.  It is set in the late 1980's.  The main character, Taylor, grew up in a town in Kentucky.  It is a very poor town and not a nice place to live.  In her late teens, she moves to Tuscon, Arizona.  On her way to her destination, she inherits an Native American baby named Turtle.  This story is about her life in Arizona.  I predict that there will be many struggles raising this Native American girl, but Taylor will get through it because she seems to be a strong character.  Barbara Kingsolver is an author that many people love, although I have never read anything by her before.  I hope I will enjoy what seems to be a beloved book by many.
