From the back cover:

A Tree Grows In Brooklyn
Betty Smith

"If you miss "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn" you will deny yourself a rich experience . . . it is a poignant and deeply understanding story of childhood and family relationships. The Nolans lived in the Williamsburg slums of Brooklyn from 1902 until 1919 . . . Their daughter Francie and their son Neeley knew more than their fair share of the privations and sufferings that are the lot of a great city's poor. Primarily this is Francie's book. She is a superb feat of characterization, an imaginative, alert, resourceful child. And Francie's growing up and beginnings of wisdom are the substance of "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn."

"[It] is a profoundly moving novel, and an honest and a true one. It cuts right to the heart of life." -ORVILLE PRESCOTT, "New York Times"

(I bought this book without a cover - how the previous owner had the nerve to sell it in the condition it is in will never cease to amaze me - but I went ahead and made a cover for it, albeit a plain one, to protect it from further decay).
