This is the story about a young girl, second-generation Irish, Francie Nolan, growing up around 1912 in a tenement. The mother, Katie, works cleaning apartments to bring home enough money for food and very little else. The father, Frankie, is a singing waiter, but when he finds work, he ends up drinking most of his wages. He's kind to Francie, but he's an unreliable alcoholic. Her brother, Neely, is Katie's favorite, and is a typical brother to Francie. He's mostly off trying to be tough with the other neighborhood boys. Francie spends her time reading,with her goal to read through all the authors in her neighborhood library, and goes alphabetically.
