However misconceptions and feelings are resolved in immensely uplifting ways. I settle upon four stars, because I could not empathize or agree with Anna's pathetic way of thinking initially and her Mother was less sympathetic than anyone ought to be. Jean can be counted on to include the point of view of impaired vision and sharply show us what someone's life is like, before the problem is corrected. The nervous environment of the pre-World War I years in Germany and following the reluctant immigration of a family, to my own country, were special touches to what might have been plain, universal, "coming of age" woes. This becomes a phenomenal story, of the sort that we remember reading because the characters are so real and their feelings are so well-explained by Jean Little. Mercifully, there was always her Dad or some friend who understood her better and gave her credence in the weakling days. I despair enough of anyone being underestimated and disregarded too often, which was Anna's plight. Later, I grew to enjoy " From Anna", 1972, much more than I envisioned! I can't bear mistreatment, which thankfully this book was not about. At first Anna is depicted weakly: not speaking-up among family, peers, or teachers on the simplest matters. But before all that, he was a bomb that exploded his parents' lives or so he was told. He's been an altar boy, a bartender, a fat kid, a smuggler, a biker, a prince of New England. It's the rare writer who reveals, and Dirtbag, Massachusetts is a heart on the sleeve, demons in check, eyes unblinking, unbearably sad, laugh-out-loud funny revelation."
