A Tree Grows in Brooklyn is a semi-autobiographical novel by Betty Smith that follows the coming-of-age of Francie Nolan as she grows up in poverty in the Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn during the early 1900s. The story depicts her struggles with poverty, her family's challenges, and her desire for education, all while the resilience of the "Tree of Heaven" growing in the courtyard symbolizes Francie's own enduring spirit.
