by Carroll Hofeling Morris
Someone gave me this book when I was young. It\’s the story of a girl growing up in the 50\’s. She struggles with a reading disability and slong with her mother befriends an impoverished family in her neighborhood. Not much more than that stands out for me, after all these years. I recall an incident with the shoes- she had special shoes just for sundays that she was supposed to keep clean, or something. I also recall the girl having a conversation with a sympathetic uncle who discovered why she was struggling with reading (I think she\’d been hiding the issue) and helped her with it. Has anyone else read this book?
