About Alice Adams by Booth Tarkington

"She was always trying to put herself beyond the reach of the world’s judgment, always trying to make herself different and better than she was; but it was a hard and often a bitter struggle, and it was in these moments of weakness that the poor child’s real self came out, trembling and afraid beneath the surface of her brave little mask." - Alice Adams
