At first glance, it doesn't seem like Betty Smith's story of 11-year old Francie Nolan, a poor Irish girl living in the 1920's Brooklyn, should remain a best-seller for almost 100 years. But A Tree Grows in Brooklyn has remained a favorite and is the subject of a video from The Great American Read series. Lauren Graham and Noelle Santos share their enthusiasm for the classic tale.
