Annie On My Mind

Garden, N. (1982). Annie on my mind. NY: FSG.

Annie and Liza meet and they have an instant attraction.  It isn't until later that they realize it's more than friends.  Annie is poor, Italian and a beautiful singer.  Liza goes to private school at Foster and plans to attend MIT.  Their lives are so different yet they find love together.

This book was not something that I would ever chose to read on my own.  It did give me insight into my step sister's life since this is the life style that they live.  I think the content in this book would be more suited with grades 10-12. 



Thinking about Kohlberg's social development I see Annie and Liza being post conventional level of moral development. They both realize that social rules of those around them conflict with what they are feeling for each other.
