The New York Times bestselling portrait of American adolescence.Margaret Sartor, a fiercely determined girl from rural Louisiana, who is equal parts "Holden Caulfield and Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm" (Atlanta Journal Constitution), presents a poignant portrait of American life during the 1970s. Crafted from diaries, notebooks, and letters, this deeply personal yet universally appealing story moves with ease between the seemingly trivial concerns of hairstyles and boys to the more profound questions of faith and identity. By turns funny and poignant, heartbreaking and profound, Miss American Pie tackles all of the decade's issues-desegregation, drugs, the sexual revolution, the rise of feminism, and the spread of charismatic evangelical Christianity-with humor, frankness, and unexpected insight. Miss American Pie reminds us what it feels like to grow up, offering a true and honest look at a teenager grappling with the timeless questions of sex, friendship, God, love, loss, and the meaning of family. The introduction and epilogue, written by Sartor from an older perspective, reflect on those turbulent and life-shaping years, revealing how the girl in the diary turned out after all, and demonstrating that childhood-both its joys and traumas-reverberate deeply in our adult lives.… (meer)

Really, the author should have written a memoir, and used the years since to add some insight into her life and the times she was living in. I find rereading my own diaries somewhat boring, and mine are wayyyyy more interesting than this! ( )

This book wasn't what I was expecting. I thought it would be more like "Little Miss Sunshine," but it really was just excerpts from a teenager's diary. ( )

Pretty good memoir about growing up in the 1970s. Sartor consulted her old diaries and letters to reconstruct this moment in time. I'm always up for a memoir, and this one was worth the trip. It felt very authentic. ( )

Margaret Sartor grew up in Montgomery, Louisiana, coming of age during the 1970s. Through the entire journey of her adolescence, she kept a diary recounting her joys (friendships, horse rides. religious rapture) and her struggles (boyfriend angst and frizzy hair). Her entries are always frank and often funny.

I just wished for a little more reflection and substance. The author provided some context at the beginning and end of the book, but the majority consisted of just diary entries, often very short ones. Taken together, they give us a partial sense of the girl and the world she lived in, but I was left wanting a more complete picture. ( )

Sartor’s memoir is composed of actual entries from the diaries she kept between the ages of twelve and seventeen. On the surface, this glimpse into the psyche of a struggling teenager is at times funny and heartbreaking. But it is also a fabulous book for meditators. I walked away from it with a profound understanding of not only the universality of human experience (or at least, the teenage American female human experience) but also a visceral understanding of the highly transient nature of our thoughts, feelings and beliefs.
