A Tree Grows in Brooklyn
by Betty Smith
by Betty Smith
"Serene was a word you could put to Brooklyn." That's the
opening line of this wonderful story of a young girl growing up in Brooklyn
in the early 1900s. A child of a gregarious Irishman who spends every
dime on drink, and the hard-working wife he charmed into marrying him,
the heroine shows you life for a child in an immigrant's section of
New York City.
