This well-written coming of age novel is sensitive, charismatic, and insightful. Angie is a teenage girl growing up in a time when social issues are prominent and there is movement for change. Connie paints each scene with a delicate hand conveying what it would have been like to navigate through a difficult time in American history while also becoming a young woman. I really enjoyed how she created Angie's character as someone who normally would have easily belonged with the "in crowd," but due to her conscientiousness and desire for positive social changes, readers see glimpses of her inner struggles when she witnesses daily injustices. Angie has a lot of depth and strength for a young teenage girl, especially given the era she grew up in. The supporting characters also helped the plot develop and I think they each added a stroke to the painting that created more life and realism. Overall, my favorite part was witnessing Angie's character navigate through incredibly difficult situations, as well as how Connie brought this time period to light in a very meaningful way. I think readers who enjoy coming of age novels with depth and great supporting characters will have a good time reading A Daffodil for Angie.
