Little Audrey

(3) 4-6 With a heart-wrenching sense of time and place, White tells of one child's experiences in Virginia's impoverished coal country in 1948. Audrey, based on White's older sister, narrates this novel. Speaking to readers in a voice far more mature than her eleven years, she expresses the hopelessness of growing up with an alcoholic father, a mother suffering from depression, and three younger sisters.
