Capturing all the rueful irony and racial ambivalence of small-town Mississippi in the late 1950s, Melinda Haynes' celebrated novel is a wholly unforgettable exploration of family, identity, and redemption. Mother of Pearl revolves around twenty-eight-year-old Even Grade, a black man who was raised an orphan, and Valuable Korner, the fifteen-year-old white daughter of the city whore and an unknown father. Both are passionately determined to find the precious things neither experienced as children: human connection, enduring commitment, and, most importantly, unconditional love. A startlingly accomplished combination of beauty, mystery, and tragedy, Mother of Pearl marks the debut of an extraordinary literary talent.
