- Synopsis
- Gone With the Wind is Moira's favorite book. Now it has been made into a movie--the most wonderful movie in the world. And it's coming to the local theater in Moira's town. Only Moira can't go. The Church has said that Catholics shouldn't see it, and that includes Moira. How unfair! There is so much that Moira wants. She wants to fit in at St. Teresa's School, where she is still an outsider even after three years. And to know what's going on with her best friend, Jane, who seems to be interested only in boys these days. Moira wonders if the United States will enter the war that is already raging in Europe, and what that will mean for her. But more than anything, she wants to see Gone With the Wind. How can that be a sin? Growing up Catholic in a world that is changing isn't easy. How Moira figures out what's really right--and then does it--makes for a touching, humorous, and very human story. Here is a story in which a seventh grader begins the transformation from a little girl who loves paper dolls to an adolescent more interested in boys, her appearance and feeling a part of a group of girls her age.
