A Corner of the Universe by Ann M. Martin

5.0

A coming of age novel set in the Midwestern United States during the summer of 1960. Hattie lives with her parents in a boarding house they run, much to the chagrin of her very proper and rich grandparents. Then Hattie's family skeleton appears when Hattie learns about her heretofore unknown Uncle Adam. Adam has been living at a special school for the mentally ill, but the school has closed so Adam has to come home. Adam's actual diagnosis never fully explained, but whatever it is it doesn't matter to Hattie. Unfortunately in the end, it does to Adam.

I really enjoyed this book and it's look into how we can overcome our discomfort and stand up for those who are different.
