Read this book when it was first published and loved it. One of those books that remain with you for life.

FROM AMAZON: 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 read this years ago, before the movie came out. I remember loving it. ( )

A sweet story. ( )

I have always loved this story. I watched the movie over and over again when I was a kid. The novel did not disappoint! ( )

I enjoyed this book! I laughed; I cried! It was a "feel good" read! My two take-aways: 1. You reap what you sow. And 2. Everyone has good inside of them! ( )
