I’m hoping you can help me find a book.\u00a0 I remember a wonderful book being in my library at Elementary School, I checked it out so often I wasn’t allowed to check it out anymore – and now I can’t remember its name.\u00a0 I think it was a children’s or young adult book?\u00a0 This would have been mid to late 80s.<\/p>\n
It was about a poor girl who lived with her father.\u00a0 They were very, very poor and the book mentioned they couldn’t afford heat so she had to take cold showers but often went dirty.\u00a0 She didn’t have many friends but then befriended an affluent girl.\u00a0 This affluent girl’s family then fell on hard times and the affluent friend lost a ring – I think a garnet ring?\u00a0 The poor girl thought if she could find the ring she could solve her new friend’s family’s money issues.\u00a0 I think she found the stone of the ring in her friend’s dress belt\/sash.\u00a0 Her friend may have contracted a disease like polio in the book.<\/p>\n
