A tree grows in Brooklyn [sound recording] / Betty Smith.
The coming of age story of Francie Nolan, a girl born in 1901 in the slums of Brooklyn. Francie has grown up under the burden of suffering that is the lot of the great city's poor. Romantic like her sweet, tragic father, an Irish singing waiter, yet pragmatic like her mother, a housecleaner and fierce survivor, Francie uses her imagination and tenacity to thrive in the world in spite of these harsh conditions. She faces the disappointments life brings, including not being allowed the luxury of a high school diploma. With poignant honesty and humor, the book cuts to the heart of family life and the American dream.
