Although
A Tree Grows in Brooklyn may now be shelved in the YA section of a bookstore or library and may be appreciated by a teenager, it was written for adults. In fact it was one of the most popular of the
Armed Services Editions, small, pocked-sized books that were distributed to the American military during WWII and for a few years afterward.

Mine also, and one I've reread countless times!
