What Members Thought
It started off a bit slowly, but I really enjoyed this story by the end. It rang true as being about a small neighborhood, the kind where people don't move very often, and keep homes within the same family for a couple of generations. When urban decay and other factors threaten the quiet little place, the story, as told from the viewpoint of one of the few girls on the block, is very touching. The subplots, including the one about the elderly, cranky neighbor, were very good.
