A pregnant teenager facing hardship unexpectedly ends up living in a shopping center in this selection from Oprah's Book Club that served as the inspiration for the film featuring Ashley Judd and Natalie Portman. This story is filled with unfortunate circumstances. Just sixty minutes ago, seventeen-year-old Novalee Nation, who is seven months pregnant, was en route to California with her partner. However, she now finds herself stranded at a Wal-Mart store in Sequoyah, Oklahoma, with a mere sum of $7.77 in loose change. Nevertheless, Novalee is soon to encounter hidden treasures within this quaint Southwestern town – a compassionate community of humble individuals willing to aid a homeless, unemployed young woman. From the pious Sister Thelma Husband with her blue hair and devout faith to the peculiar librarian Forney Hull, these kind-hearted individuals are poised to accompany Novalee – and indeed, you as well – on an emotional, humorous, and unforgettable expedition.
