Synopsis

Keineth: A Washington Square Childhood follows a girl who learns courage, belonging, and the small acts that shape a life.

Set against the changing streets of lower New York and the hopeful rhythms of a family’s daily life, this story centers on a young girl who learns to navigate love, duty, and her own growing talents. Through warm memories of a beloved home on Washington Square, the book portrays how steady care from family, mentors, and friends helps Keineth find her voice and her place in the world.

Across intimate scenes of family dinners, quiet piano moments, and bold adventures with friends, the narrative weaves themes of resilience, imagination, and the everyday acts that build character. The book balances tenderness with moments of conflict, offering a moving portrait of a girl who discovers where she belongs—even as life around her changes in surprising ways.

• Warm, intimate scenes of family life and neighborhood life in New York City.
• A young girl’s creative growth, including music and personal discovery.
• Friendships, challenges, and moments of courage that shape character.
• A sense of history and community that grounds personal growth.

Ideal for readers who enjoy character-driven historical fiction and coming-of-age stories rooted in a vivid cityscape.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

For the past three days there had been no lessons. Keineth had lessons instead of going to school. She had them sometimes with Madame Henri, or Tante as she called her, and sometimes with her father. If the sun was very inviting in the morning, lessons would wait until afternoon; or, if, sitting straight and still in the big room her father called his study, Keineth found it impossible to think of the book before her, Tante would say in her prim voice: Dreaming, cherie? and add, the books will wait! Or, if father was hearing the lessons, he would toss aside the book and beckon to Keineth to sit on his knee. Then he would tell a story.
