Unfortunately, Judy Blume wasn't writing yet when I was a teenager!

Chaim Potok, who wrote The Chosen wrote a book titled Davita's Harp which is a girl coming of age book. (He wrote it many years later so it wasn't in my high school reading!) There is a passage in it that struck me emotionally in a way no other has -- perhaps the way some feel about CITR! I have read all of his books and really enjoy his writing.

Soledad...if you like The Chosen you should look for Davita's Harp !
