A quick snippet about the book: An unforgettable novel about a young jewish girl growing up in Boston with strict Russian immigrant parents. Taking place in the early twentieth century, we follow Addie Baum (The Boston Girl) as she navigates the challenges of being a woman and poor during that period. Her avid curiosity and love of learning is her solace and her ticket to friends, adventure, and more.
