I enjoy the older country novels with strong female characters. Tillie grows from a girl to a young woman in this novel.  Her father is a heartless, abusive SOB who intends to raise Tillie to work as a maid/fieldhand.  Tillie overcomes her father by self educating herself and becoming a teacher. Overall...Good read.
