Thank You to Betty Smith

Dear Ms. Smith,

When I first read A Tree Grows in Brooklyn I felt an instant kinship to Francie. It was a book that I have come back to again and again. Every time I read it I come away with something new and a new outlook. It's one of those books that never gets old.

Thank you for writing it. It's meant a lot to me.

Best wishes,
Pam
