Fin & Lady

by Cathleen Schine

DeathBrothers and sistersMothersGuardian and wardFictionResponsibilityBohemianismLarge type books

It's 1964. Eleven-year-old Fin and his glamorous, worldly, older half sister, Lady, have just been orphaned. Lady, whom Fin hasn't seen in six years, is now his legal guardian and his only hope. That means Fin is uprooted from a small dairy farm in rural Connecticut to Greenwich Village, smack in the middle of the swinging '60s. He soon learns that Lady -- giddy, careless, and obsessed with being free -- is as much his responsibility as he is hers.
