Plum Patch Pamela Joy Pugh

She'd always been achy while other people were the alpha or the aitch. When Jackie at last finds her place of belonging-in a group of guineveres and pershores-she is determined to preserve her spot. She has finally learned to like today. Yet today inevitably becomes tomorrow. Can Jackie manage unbidden events without falling into old patterns?Intriguing words and veiled references to the plum are folded into this engaging story of a family, a neighborhood, and a church as Jackie and her mother, Grace, consider what's past and what's coming, face disappointment, and risk seeking joy in the day.
