About This Book

Brimming "with humor and charm and youthful animal spiritsThere is much true wisdom in Cress Delahanty." (The New York Times) West writes "gracefully, occasionally poetically, in a voice both innocent and brave." (The Washington Post) Set in rural California in the 1940s, this novel wittily portrays an adolescent girl... more » navigating pivotal moments of growing up between 12 and 16. West is equally insightful about the eternal problems of parenthood and how raising children transforms a marriage. Jessamyn West (1902-1984) was the author of forty books and often contributed to magazines like The New Yorker.
