Spare Change by Bette Lee Crosby
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Ethan Allen was a boy that was so unwanted by his parents that his mother couldn't even bother giving him a proper name and called him the name of a furniture store. She fancied herself a singer and spent most of her life planning on leaving for New York to start a stage career.
Her marriage was extremely rocky and she had a roving eye. This would be her undoing.
Ethan Allen saw and endured much more than a child should ever have to. Between fights, plans for trips to New York and affairs, this story will tug at your heart. The characters are well drawn and likeable for the most part.
Even though the story was somewhat predictable, it was interesting and thoughtful.
