One of my favorite books of the year and of all time. Francie’s story will always have a special part of my heart.

“Let me be something every minute of every hour of my life. Let me be gay; let me be sad. Let me by cold; let me be warm. Let me be hungry…have too much to eat. Let me be ragged or we’ll dressed. Let me be sincere-deceitful. Let me be truthful; let me be a liar. Let me be honorable and let me sin. Only let me be something every blessed minute. And when I sleep, let me dream all the time so that not one little piece of living is ever lost.”- A Tree Grows in Brooklyn
