This is the memoir of the author as a young girl and the year she and her Mother and brothers spent in a small Mormon community.
It is told through narration by her as an older child, and through her letters to Francie, a fictional character from A Tree Grows in Brooklyn,
by Betty Smith.
This is the true accounting of the bullying and clashes of culture and religious faiths, as seen through the eyes of a 10 year-old Protestant girl. It is the story of a daily struggle to understand the incongruities of the people in the community, and is told with an adult understanding, but with the humor, compassion and the naive insight of a child. It is a memoir written for adults with an awareness of the angst of a child's perseverance against the odds. This is a powerful story set against yesterday's backdrop but with today's significance.
