The Life All Around Me by Ellen Foster by Kaye Gibbons
In this sequel to Gibbons's beloved classic Ellen Foster, Ellen, now fifteen, is settled into a permanent home with a new mother. Strengthened by adversity and blessed with enough intelligence to design a salvation for herself, she still feels ill at ease. But while she holds fast to the shreds of her childhood--humoring her best friend, Stuart, who is determined to marry her; and protecting her old neighbor, slow-witted Starletta--she begins to negotiate her way into a larger world.With a singular mix of perspicacity, naïveté, and compassion, Ellen draws us into her life and makes us fall in love with her all over again.
KAYE GIBBONS is the best-selling author of seven books. The American Academy of Arts and Letters gave her the Sue Kaufman Award for her first novel, Ellen Foster, as well as a special commendation from the Ernest Hemingway Foundation. Oprah's Book Club chose that novel, as well as A Virtuous Woman. Gibbons is a Raleigh, North Carolina resident.
