Up a Road Slowly
Overview & Summary
After her mother's death, young Julie Trelling is sent to live with her strict spinster aunt in the countryside, and the novel follows her over the course of seven years as she grows from a grieving child into a thoughtful young woman navigating first love, disappointment, and eventually reconciliation with her own family. Irene Hunt's 1967 Newbery Medal winner is a quiet, introspective coming-of-age story.
