Description

Talk about unlucky sevens. An hour ago, seventeen-year-old, seven months pregnant Novalee Nation 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.

I do not remember the story all that well but the only thing I remember about this story was watching a part of the original movie where she is literally giving birth in Walmart and she is becoming a Walmart baby. But that's all I remember from the story. Not even from the store but from the movie. And for some reason I have had my head mine like set on that movie for so damn long to the point that like finally finding the book and reading the book was absolutely amazing and a full circle for me and I loved it. Loved the book. Love the story. Definitely not going to lie. There was like a chapter or two I think. Maybe total like three chapters actually where I kind of just snoozed right through. It didn't even really pay attention but other than that like this book was absolutely amazing. I was in it for every single f****** word that was being written.
