Review

"The Bean Trees is the work of a visionary."

-- Los Angeles Times

"This is the story of a lovable, resourceful 'instant mother, ' one who speaks, acts and learns for herself, becoming an inspiration for us all."-- "Glamour""This funny, inspiring book is a marvelous affirmation of risk-taking, commitment and everyday miracles...An overwhelming delight, as random and unexpected as real life."-- "Publishers Weekly""An extraordinary good novel, tough and tender and gritty and moving."-- Anne Rivers Siddons"Loving and expansive...idealistic and exhilarating."-- "Philadelphia Inquirer"
