A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith

5.0

A delightful coming-of-age novel following Francie Nolan. The story is delightful in the sense that it is raw, honest, and truthful. Each chapter calls for careful reflection on how our world operates, how we treat others and how we treat ourselves. In addition, we are witness to Francie's complicated relationships with her mother and father.
