Title: Describes the hardships a family goes through.
Review: A Tree Grows in Brooklyn is about a girl, named Francie Nolan growing up in the Brooklyn slums in the early 1900's. Her family, which consists of her younger brother Neeley, her father Johnny, and her mother Katie, struggles to make ends meat. Katie ends up being responsible for keeping the family running because Johnny, is an alcoholic and they can't depend on him for survival. The Nolan's are faced with many problems and hardships, but they are strong and always manage to get through them. Life starts to look up for the Nolan's just as they thought all of their dreams would never come true. This is an easy book to get into because it is very discriptive. You feel as if you're a part of the book and that you're living with Francie in the slums of Brooklyn about ninety years ago. This book is a great experience for all who read it.
