Where the Heart Is by Billie Letts
Now a major motion picture starring Natalie Portman and Ashley Judd.
Talk about unlucky sevens. An hour ago, seventeen year old, seven months pregnant Novalee Nation was headed for California with her boyfriend. Now she finds herself stranded at a Walmart in Sequoyah, Oklahoma, with just $7.77 in change. But Novalee is about to discover hidden treasures in this small South Western town - a group of down to earth, deeply caring people who will come to love her more than she loves herself, and start her on a moving, warm hearted, and unforgettable journey to... where the heart is.
