Currently Reading "The Poisonwood Bible" by Barbara Kingsolver

I didn't know what to expect, but the title intrigued me. This is a book that takes us (women) through all of the stages of our growing up as daughters trying to sort out our own independence, sisters trying to get along, and mothers coping, persevering and sometimes succumbing to the overwhelming demands of this life. In this incredible adventure we see the world through the eyes of Orleana, Rachel, Leah, Ada and Ruth. It really doesn't matter where they are geographically, although it adds greatly to the glorious color of this adventure, it is how they cope with what happens to them that looks so familiar.
