Wo ist....

Where is my copy of A Tree Grows In Brooklyn? (A book I really like.) I was going to quote a scene about Francie's mother being on her knees and scrubbing the floor while she was pregnant, telling Francie that she doesn't get along with women, tears coming to her eyes when she remembers her best girlfriend from adolescence, telling Francie that she needs her now even though before she always favored Francie's brother, her sisters coming, and then Francie being sent off to an errand but not escaping before she hears her mother scream. Then a subsequent passage that made me want to throw the book out. Well, I could get it from a library, anyways! I still like it. But, I can't find it. Maybe it's already gone...
