Minding Frankie by Maeve Binchy is a sweet novel about a little girl named Frankie, whose mother dies the day she is born. She is raised by a community of well meaning people in a small Dublin neighborhood.
Her Father learns about her only weeks before she is born, and tries hard to give up drinking, find a better job and do the best he can to raise Frankie. He has help from a wonderful array of characters who try to protect Frankie from a bitter social worker. Binchy does a great job of getting the reader to care about all of them.
Beautifully written, heartfelt, feel good novel. Goes great with a hot cup of tea on a cold winters day.
