When Jewel receives a journal from her aunt Pearl as a wedding present, she doesn't understand the inscription. Jewel, a recent college graduate from the Midwest, thinks that the best part of her life is about to begin. She's leaving her racist, ignorant family behind, has married the man of her dreams, and is embarking on a new career. What could go wrong?
Everything.
In a series of sarcastic, hilarious journal entries, Jewel chronicles her education as a married woman. The man of her dreams turns into the stuff of nightmares, and Jewel is badly in need of a wake-up call. With the unconditional love of her daughter, Ella, and the support of her friends and family, Jewel discovers her own inner voice. It's a bit of a bitch. Her ability to communicate her true feelings will stand her in good stead as she copes with job loss, heartbreak, divorce, and other calamities.
