Propst, M: A Flower Blooms on Charlotte St

As the only remaining female in the George Nash family, Ociee chooses to view herself as more brother than sister as she grows up on their Mississippi farm. When her father decides that it's time to make her into a young lady, she is sent to live with her Aunt Mamie in Asheville. There she will bloom and sow seeds of love in the lives of those who come to know her on Charlotte Street. The film The Adventures of Ociee Nash is based on this book.
