Description: "The mysterious murder of seventeen-year-old Sheila Barnes on Lloyd Cotton's dairy farm scandalizes the quiet town of Zebulon, Mississippi, in 1941. Among those most deeply affected by the tragedy are her young husband, Stoney, and the Cotton family, who took Sheila in and loved her as their own.".

"Though abused by her father, labeled "slow-witted," and burdened with a physical deformity, Sheila approaches life with a cheerful optimism and an unwavering belief in the power of everyday magic. She quickly becomes the Best Friend of eleven-year-old Annette Cotton, and somehow charms and changes everyone around her, proving to many that wisdom often comes from unlikely places."--BOOK JACKET.
