 e moment she entered the world\, Francie Nolan needed to be made of stern 
 stuff\, for the often harsh life of Williamsburg\, Brooklyn\, demanded for
 titude\, precocity\, and strength of spirit. Often scorned by neighbors fo
 r her family's erratic and eccentric behavior&mdash\;such as her father Jo
 hnny's taste for alcohol and Aunt Sissy's habit of marrying serially witho
 ut the formality of divorce&mdash\;no one\, least of all Francie\, could s
 ay that the Nolans' life lacked drama. By turns overwhelming\, sublime\, h
 eartbreaking\, and uplifting\, the Nolans' daily experiences in this class
 ic novel are tenderly threaded with family connectedness and raw with hone
 sty.</p>\nhttps://lacountylibrary.libnet.info/event/15771159
