"I chose A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith because I've loved it since I was a kid. It's a wonderful coming-of-age story, it's a wonderful New York story, and the writing is honest and beautiful. Plus, it contains one of my favorite quotes from a book: 'From that moment on, the world was hers for the reading. She would never be lonely again.'"
