A book I will reread when I want to remember how to be a better human. 
 Reminiscent of A Tree Grows in Brooklyn and To Kill a Mockingbird, all three with young female protagonists who are slowly coming to understand the cogs and wheels of the world around them, all three who stumble upon the unfairness of life and the flaws of others, yet who continue to trust in the basic human decency that they hope will prevail.
