(4) YA Jessie Pearl is tangled up in emotions--her sister's tuberculosis death leaves Jessie with an infant nephew to raise, and, after giving her her first kiss, J.T. left for city work. At the heart of this not-so-fresh 1922 North Carolina–set story is Jessie's relatable quandary: should she stay to help her family or pursue her own dreams? The print is unfortunately tiny.
