Part of Me: Stories of a Louisiana Family

209 pp. | Holt | September, 2006 | Trade ISBN 0-8050-6360-9 $16.95
(2) YA Holt's affectionate multigenerational portrait starts in 1939 Louisiana with fourteen-year-old Rose, then skips ahead eighteen years to Rose's thirteen-year-old son. Following the family through the perspectives of two more generations of teens, up through Rose's great-grandson in 2004, Holt accentuates her characters' individuality while drawing out the subtle traits, including a sometimes dormant love of literature, that keep them connected.
