Winner of the 2020 NYC Big Book Award and 2023 IAN Book of the Year finalist, Polishing Jade is a powerful Christian historical novel about faith, trauma, and healing.
Jade Gentry is a shy, introspective young woman with an old soul and a deeply troubled home. Living with her abusive, alcoholic father in rural 1960s Mississippi, Jade's world shatters when one of his drunken poker buddies commits an unthinkable act. Terrified and alone, she flees to the only safe place she knows, Taylor's General Store where her friend Dillon, a kind African American clerk, offers her comfort.
But their bond is dangerous. In a segregated town where even friendship between races is frowned upon, Jade and Dillon's connection could cost them everything.
Surrounded by a cast of quirky, wise, and sometimes broken townsfolk, Jade begins a slow but steady transformation. With faith as her guide and hope as her anchor, she embarks on a journey toward healing, forgiveness, and finding her true voice.
Polishing Jade is a moving Southern tale of redemption, courage, and the enduring power of grace.

I received this as a gift a few years back when going through a rough time. I recently gave it to someone close to me because I loved the message and the encouragement. When I got the entire gift box for her, I loved how it came. Everything was such quality. She was so excited about the journal and the candle as well. And the jewelry was very high quality.
