Where the Heart Is by Billie Letts, is in Oprah's Book Club. An enthralling book about a pregnant 17 year old girl, Novalee Nation and her struggle to survive day to day in a Wal-Mart. The friendships she makes with blue-haired Sister Thelma Husband and the librarian, Forney Hull soon turn to love for the family she never had. When her daughter, Americus is born, she begins her life again, and finds more than she ever hoped for. This novel encompasses the beginning of her new life and is an unforgettable peek into the fictional lives of some of literature's most endearing characters. Once started, it captivates the reader and is hard to put down.
