| | | Virginia Euwer Wolff writes about tenacious people. In Make Lemonade she tells the story of Jolly--17-years-old, barely literate, with two kids from two different, absent fathers--and how she begins the slow process of building a future for herself. This is another startling novel by an extraordinary writer.
Annotation:
Fourteen-year-old LaVaughn lives in the projects with her mother. Although poor, college is definitely in LaVaughn's future if she can make the money to supplement the bills. In an effort to raise funds, she takes a job babysitting for the two children of a 17-year-old single mother named Jolly. As LaVaughn gets involved with Jolly and her life, she tries to help the young mother take more control over her destiny.
