[close] Miss Jane is born in 1915 with congenital birth defects that render her sterile, and also unable to control her bladder and bowels. Despite her condition and a rather unhappy family life, Jane becomes a happy and resourceful child. The country Dr., who delivers Jane, maintains a close relationship with Jane throughout her life and helps her adjust to her condition. Watson perfectly captures the setting and life in the rural South during the depression years. A bittersweet story.
