This month we will be discussing A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith.
The poignant coming-of-age story of Francie Nolan, a resilient young girl growing up in the poverty-stricken Williamsburg neighborhood of early 20th-century Brooklyn. Surrounded by a loving but deeply flawed family, Francie navigates hardship, hope, and heartache with courage and imagination. Rich in detail and emotional depth, Betty Smith’s beloved classic captures both the struggles and small joys of working-class life, offering a timeless portrait of strength, family, and the enduring spirit of a young girl determined to rise.
