Summary:
In this urban story, a transplanted Hoosier lives a lonely life in New York City and looks for warmth and companionship.

Teaching Ideas:
This could be used in a unit on city living, with books like Fly Away Home. It makes a natural springboard to social issues of 20th century urban life. It could be contrasted with books about communities like Levine's Pearl Moscowitz's Last Stand or Rylant's Appalachia.
