The beloved American classic about a young girl's coming-of-age at the turn of the century, Betty Smith's A Tree Grows in Brooklyn is a poignant and moving tale filled with compassion and cruelty, laughter and heartache, crowded with life and people and incident. The story of young, sensitive, and idealistic Francie Nolan and her bittersweet formative years in the slums of Williamsburg has enchanted and inspired millions of readers for more than sixty years.

    The way blacks, native Americans and Jews are depicted in this book is horrible, disgusting and it is incomprehensible that the children in the book would do and say such libelous things and never get reprimanded or scolded; I can’t tolerate it in anything I read or see on tv. It should be banned from younger readers reading lists for this reason. If I had children, I wouldn’t want them to know that Irish catholic people thought negatively and harshly about blacks, native Americans, Jews and poor immigrants.
