Wow, Still Here, you have really lived "A Tree Grows In Brooklyn". That is when a book really comes alive to us, when we can pull things out of it that are real. I read it as a young girl and though we didn't have alcoholism in our immediate family, we were poor and I literally felt like I was Francie. I loved to read and actually wanted to follow Francie's plan of reading all the books in the library. I had my daughter read this book over the summer and she enjoyed it as well. It is a magical story and if a person hasn't read it, it is a "must read".
