This book is a fictional, coming-of-age tale that revolves around the real 1906 death of Grace Brown that took place in rural New York state. (See An American Tragedy and its 1951 film adaptation A Place in the Sun starring Elizabeth Taylor). Sixteen-year-old Mattie Gokey and her family are left nearly destitute by her mother's death and her father's inability to care for the younger children and run the family farm by himself. Mattie is at a personal crossroads when, at a hotel where she works, a young woman named Grace Brown gives her a bundle of letters with instructions to burn them. Grace's body is soon dredged from the nearby lake. This book is more about Mattie and how she finds her voice as a young woman at the turn-of-the-twentieth-century, rather than finding out who, or what, caused the death of Grace Brown. Mattie deals with racism, sexism, poverty and the choice between staying in her rural community and becoming a wife or going to college to study literature. Mattie's friend Minnie (who is also in her teens) serves as the example of teen aged marriage and motherhood to Mattie. Her experiences with Minnie serve to lift the veil of romanticism that often covers marriage and motherhood, and shows Mattie the harsh reality of having to deal with them both, while still a teenager. (Mattie feels that her beloved books have betrayed her on this subject and calls the authors "liars".) Mattie deals with many situations that today's teens will most likely not encounter; situations that would cause a 16 yr. old to mature significantly, however it is refreshing and realistic to read that Mattie still shows immaturity and inexperience in many ways. I enjoyed this book thoroughly and I do recommend it. However, this book says it's for young adults, "8th grade and up", but I'm not so sure that I would recommend someone that young read it on their own. If someone that young did wish to read it, I would suggest that an adult read this book beforehand, and help to explain the motivations of the characters and the situations they find themselves in.
