(4) YA Dirt-poor and living in the Georgia mountains during the Great Depression, fourteen-year-old Halley has little chance of getting the education she desires. Since her father's death, her family lives with Pa Franklin, her grandfather and the town's hard-hearted preacher. The ending is both hopeful and discouraging: Halley eventually escapes Pa Franklin's tyranny when her mother remarries.
