Summary:  "In this classic coming of age story set in the slums of early 20th century Brooklyn, Francie contends with poverty, an alcoholic father, and a questionable future for herself. Like a tree that continues to grow against odds, Francie also struggles to make a life for herself." -- Youth Services Team, HPL. The coming of age story of Francie, a girl in the slums of turn-of-the-century Brooklyn. Francie grows up with a sweet, tragic father, a severely realistic mother and a favored younger brother. She learns early the meaning of hunger and the value of a penny. She faces the disappointments life brings, including not being allowed the luxury of a high school diploma. With poignant honesty and humor, the book cuts to the heart of family life and the American dream. Genre:  Bildungsromans. Historical fiction. Classic fiction.
