Mudwoman : a novel

Oates, Joyce Carol 1938- (Author).

Summary: Mudgirl is a child abandoned by her mother in the silty flats of the Black Snake River. Mudgirl survives by an accident of fate - or destiny. The well-meaning couple who adopt her quarantine her poisonous history behind the barrier of their Quaker values. A riveting novel that explores the high price of success in the life of one woman - the first female president of a lauded Ivy league college - and her hold upon her self-identity in the face of personal and professional demons.
