I would like to thank Stephanie Albright for editing this book and for helping me tweak Jade and other characters!
It's the 1960's and equality is sweeping the nation. However, not every small town in the Deep South is ready for such radical change. Jade Gentry is an attractive 17 year old girl growing up in rural Mississippi. After her faith-filled mother dies of Cancer, Jade's alcoholic Father goes to AA where he meets Veronica, a new woman who quickly becomes a drinking buddy and more. Jade's already drama filled life gets even worse. Her older brother, Johnny moves to Kansas to live with their uncle, leaving Jade alone to deal with her daddy's addiction. The consequences are life shattering. She is violated by one of her daddy's drunken friends, which sends her life into a downward spiral. Meet a colorful cast of characters, including kindly Miss Ellen, who is Jade's neighbor and protector, Renée a peculiar woman who sings and shouts, and a school teacher who just might be the one to help with "Polishing Jade".
