The daughter of German immigrants, she grew up poor in the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn, the very world she recreates with such meticulous detail in A Tree Grows in Brooklyn.

She died in 1972.
It's the portrait of a life time of a little Brooklyn girl who grew up in poverty with hope, dream and love in her heart and mind. The book ends when her life starts, as a woman, in a new world.

找遍学校、社区图书馆，和netflix, 都没有找到A Tree Grows in Brooklyn这部曾经获得奥斯卡最佳配角奖的电影。只好花高价从亚马逊上购买，谁知道买来之后，才发现是西班牙语的配音，可怜斗大的西班牙语，我只认得一个 gracias. 更糟糕的是，我家那遭鸡瘟的DVD 机器上不能播放...
