Where the Heart Is

Talk about unlucky sevens. An hour ago, seventeen-year-old Novalee Nation, seven months pregnant, was heading for California with her boyfriend. Now she finds herself stranded at a Wal-Mart in Sequoyah, Oklahoma, with just $7.77 in change. But Novalee is about to discover hidden treasures in this small Southwest town — a group of down-to-earth, deeply caring people willing to help a homeless, jobless girl living secretly in a Wal-Mart. From Bible-thumping, blue-haired Sister Thelma Husband to eccentric librarian Forney Hull, who loves Novalee more than she loves herself, they are about to take her — and you, too — on a moving, funny, and unforgettable journey to... Where the Heart Is.
