Assorted Sisters

Florence Crannell Means

3.2/5 ( ratings)

From a sheltered Indian Reservation fifteen-year-old Mary Locke moves to a crowded neighborhood in Denver where her father is the new director of a settlement house. She is terrified by the crowds of boys and girls in East High School until she finds two other girls who are equally lonely. With Mei-Lee, a lovely Chinese refugee, and Marita, a proud Spanish-American girl, she forms the Assorted Sisters, and gradually the three girls become part of the life of the school. Later on, Caro, a kind-hearted Negro girl joins the group.

ASSORTED SISTERS is not only the story of a teen-age girl and her problems. It is also the story of a family and a settlement house. It tells of the Locke's fight against intolerance and their attempt to make Friendship House a meeting-place for families of all colors and creeds.
