The classic novel of growing up impoverished in turn-of-the-century New York. Francie Nolan, avid reader and saver of pennies for candy, observes the people around her. Her brother, always the favorite; her sternly realistic mother; her wayward aunt; and her idealistic alcoholic father, all teach her in their own ways the things she needs to survive the squalor of the city.
