When I was in 9th grade, instead of reading Gatsby, we read this awful fucking novel. I mean, it was absolute trash. It was about some girl driving from Tennessee to Arizona (or New Mexico, can't remember which). Along the way she finds an abandoned native indian baby girl. She decides to take the little shit with her and raise it. What happens next can best be described as absolutely nothing. She gets a job, makes some friends in AZ (or NM), hangs out with them, and gets the brat to say a word or two.

Only thing that happens with any tension is the state might take the kid away from her, and that gets resolved within a couple chapters in a way so boring I can't even remember it. It is the biggest piece of shit I've ever read, and I've read The Godfather. For the life of me I can't remember the name of it. Does anyone know what book I'm talking about?
