Query: Heartwarming coming of age story

I loved this book-- Ms. Conlon-McIvor has the ability to usher you into her world as a young, wide-eyed and watchful girl with a big imagination who grows into a young woman before the book is finished. This is a tender homage to her silent father and extended family, her Catholic upbringing, and her suburban Southern California neighborhood that may have appeared bland to others, but was a hot bed of intrugue to young Maura.
