A Girl from Yamhill by Beverly Cleary

5.0

Well written and very enjoyable, fascinating memoir of growing up during the 1930s depression in Portland, Oregon. Love her children's books, loved learning about her life. Since this story ends with her h.s. graduation, I'd love to have a sequel about her college years and adult life. The focus of Girl From Yamhill is the difficult relationship she had with her mother. I think this is classified as a YA or children's book, depending where you look, but it reads like an adult story to me.
