Description:
Strong for Potatoes is the resonant story of the difficult youth of Blue Willoughby, a remarkable girl growing up in eastern Maine. This debut novel received extraordinary attention from reviewers and booksellers alike, for it is passionate, a tale of triumph over circumstance and a wonderfully readable portrait of a girl whose determination to survive is unflagging.
Expand description
Blue's rock of strength is her grandfather, a full-blooded Passamaquoddy Indian who passes on to Blue the ways of his ancestors, including the art of weaving baskets from ash and sweet grass -- knowledge that Blue will need to find a sense of her own true self amid the chaos of her adolescence.
Strong for Potatoes is a rich, evocative literary debut by a gifted writer and teller of the most rewarding kind of story: beautifully crafted, authentic, moving, and ultimately uplifting.
