Cress Delahanty

BY JESSAMYN WEST

Brief Description:
Set in rural California in the 1940s, this novel first published as four short stories, wittily portrays an adolescent girl navigating pivotal moments of growing up between ages 12 and 16. West is equally insightful about the eternal problems of parent and grandparenthood, how raising children transforms a marriage, and how death touches a family. An afterword discuses her writing career.
