It was a true tale of the human spirit and the ability to grow and develop, even in the most adverse conditions. I felt like I related to this book on a very personal level, and would not recommend it for somebody who doesn't appreciated subtlety or who has never experienced a traumatic event such as loss or poverty. Very well written!! #comingofage #atreegrowsinbrooklyn #bettysmith #turnofthecentury #summerreading #bettysmith #americanclassic

Tree Grows in Brooklyn | Betty Smith

Currently reading, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith. I find there are so many passages I highlight and contemplate. This one struck me especially, while I was doing a bit of early morning reading, today. #atreegrowsinbrooklyn #treegrowsinbrooklyn #bettysmith #quotes #currentlyreading #quote

thebooksatchel I want to read this book someday 7y

catebutler @thebooksatchel You need to! It is such a powerful book. The themes discussed, the writing. It is truly one of those books that stays with you. I'm about half way through, and have had a hard time putting it down. 7y

HotCocoaReads It's a favorite of mine for sure! Beautiful quote! 7y

catebutler @MyBookBath It stopped me dead in my tracks. I had to immediately write it down. 7y

Francie Nolan is my favorite literary character of all time. I first read A Tree Grows in Brooklyn when I was 12 and it has remained my favorite book since then. I can't even guess how many times I have read it. No author I have ever read can capture the raw beauty, heartbreak, pain,love and sorrow that is life the way Betty Smith has

When you finish one book and before starting the next you pick it up a few times..read the inside cover...pick it up again...before you actually start reading it... #booknerdprob #mybrilliantfriend #geeklove #atreegrowsinbrooklyn
