Up a Road Slowly Mass market paperbound - 2003
by Irene Hunt
The Newbery Award-winning novel is now available in this digest-sized paperback. This coming-of-age story follows a young girl from the age of seven to 17, who recalls her many happy days at her Aunt Cordelia's, and the sad times that she faces while growing up.
Summary
Julie would remember her happy days at Aunt Cordelia’s forever. Running through the spacious rooms, singing on rainy nights in front of the fireplace. There were the rides in the woods on Peter the Great and the races with Danny Trevort. There were the precious moments alone in her room at night, gazing at the sea of stars.
But there were sad times too—the painful jealousy Julie felt after her sister married, the tragic death of a schoolmate and the bitter disappointment of her first love. Julie was having a hard time believing life was fair. But Julie would have to be fair to herself before she could even think about new beginnings…
First line
Three children stood outside our gate in the bright October sunlight, silent and still as figurines in a gift shop window, watching each step I took as I came slowly down the flagstone walk across the lawn.
