(2) YA Twelve-year-old Pearl's mother leaves her with an aunt in backwoods Georgia and disappears. Pearl's emotions run a convincing gamut from anger, jealousy, and isolation to fear--fear that her mother might not return and fear that she will. In this touching, emotionally honest novel, O'Connor's gritty descriptions of the characters and scenery vividly evoke the environment as Pearl experiences it.
