description: Sooner was only nine... with a runny nose, and raggedy clothes, and a harsh, brutal childhood spent with an embittered, bootlegging, Bible-quoting old woman. Sooner's only warmth and companionship came from her woodland animal friends, a redwing blackbird and a little chipmunk. Nut then Sooner began a new life with Mac, a warm, giving veterinarian, and his wife Elizabeth-- who was unable to have children... and feared that she couldn't love at all. A GIRL NAMED SOONER is the heartwarming story of these three human beings, who together found a new fulfillment in the act of giving... and a new understanding of what it is to love.
