Woman
Woman by Wendy Jett is the final book in the popular mixed-genre trilogy about a young woman's complicated relationships with her family, faith, friends and herself.
"With its seamless blend of prose, poetry, and recipe, Jett weaves the story of a young woman who returns to her mountain roots to discover not only a sense of home, but the person she is meant to be. Woman stands alone as a testament to strength, resiliency, and acceptance, but read as a final chapter to Girl and Tainted, Woman provides a satisfying resolution to a story about change, retribution, forgiveness, and finding happiness where one is."—Marcia Thornton Jones, author/co-author of over 135 books for kids
What Others Say
Woman, the last part of the Girl trilogy, continues the remarkable storytelling talent of Wendy Jett. Bursting with the captivating language Jett has become known for, Woman takes us on a journey of delight, surprise, and revelation. Her development of character and ear for dialogue are the spine of Jett's writing. The interwoven poems tell their own delicious tales. Lines like these from "Love Spoon": "knife in hand, he carries himself deep into the sanctuary / of the wood" are deeply elegant and earthy fresh. I found myself smiling and then tearing up and then smiling again, which is what a masterful writer can do to a reader. Jett's words linger, haunt, and inspire us to think about life through another lens. The book is a heart on the page. Bravo!
Wendy Jett is a master storyteller! No doubt about it. By employing a unique blend of poetry, recipes, songs and short prose pieces, she weaves a tale of extraordinary love, devotion, deep faith, folklore, loss and sorrow. In Jett's first two books, Girl and Tainted, the reader follows Girl, the heroine, through a troubled childhood that finds her questioning her faith and her own humanity. Woman, the final book in this trilogy, continues the saga of Girl as she matures and is forced to navigate unexpected developments in her life. Girl's family, living and dead, rally around her, showing her the path to self-worth. Girl is such a compelling and likeable character, the reader can't help but love her and get completely wrapped up in her story. This is Wendy Jett's genius! For those of you who have already read the first two books, you must read Woman. If you haven't read any of Jett's books, do yourself a big favor and get the whole collection.
