Co-founder of Dossier Magazine (both iterations), formerly of Playgirl, Departures, and T-Magazine, Skye Parrott has seen her fair share of good writing. But Betty Smith's A Tree Grows in Brooklyn is the book that stands out to her as life-changing, from when she first read it as a young girl to the many (many) time she re-read it afterwards. Skye takes us through her time running photographer Nan Goldin's studio (and whether she thinks its related to this book...), what parts of this book resonated most for her, and the meaningful ways this book covers the journey of girlhood to womanhood.
Skye and Rebecca also dive into the question of this book's success, and why it would have been so popular amongst soldiers during WWII (so popular, in fact, that it was published in military edition made to fit in a soldier's pocket!),
