Abstract
The story of Del Jordan growing up in gossipy and insular Jubilee begins with a frog-catching expedition and ends with a shattered love affair. Between, lies the rich and unforgettable texture of female experience.
Here is Del as she goes through each crisis of growing up - her dreams of becoming famous; the embarrassment she feels when her mother sets out to sell encyclopedias to farmers; the way her own body humiliates her by growing breasts and longing for sex; her desperate attempts to fall in love with a boy who makes her want to wash her hair.
Del is sexy, touching and very funny - and she is about to become a woman...
