A Lost And Found 'Wonder': 

Pearl S. Buck's Final Novel


Pearl Buck was born in West Virginia but spent much of her childhood in China, where her parents worked as missionaries.


"Pearl S. Buck emerged into literary stardom in 1931 when she published a book called The Good Earth. That story of family life in a Chinese village won the novelist international acclaim, the Pulitzer and, eventually, a Nobel Prize. Her upbringing in China as the American daughter of missionaries served as inspiration for that novel and many others; by her death in 1973, Buck had written more than 100 books, including 43 novels.
Last December, Buck's son Edgar Walsh — who manages her literary estate — received an email with some unexpected news: A 44th novel by his mother had been discovered in Texas." -NPR 

The book is entitled, The Eternal Wonder and will be published in October. Mark your calendar!  In the meantime, read the full NPR piece here.
