Martha, THE MEMBER OF THE WEDDING is my favorite novel ever. It bears up no matter how many times I re-read it. Frankie stays with you long after you close the book.

So true, don't know how it took me so long!

There is a major character named Frankie in a novel by Kevin Wilson called NOW IS NOT THE TIME TO PANIC who really reminded me of Frankie, Carson McCuller’s creation. Very different circumstances, but the same teenage longing to be a part of something. You might want to take a look at it.
