Francie
loved her life in Brooklyn. She adored her father, a singing waiter, and
loved school. When her father suddenly dies; everything changes for Francie.
She goes to work instead of high school to help her brother, mother, and
herself survive. She also starts classes at the local college. Francie
realizes that this is what her life must be like and gives up all the dreams
she once had. Will Francie with determination and luck ever be happy again?
(Maha M. Gaballa, Mansfield High School Student) |
