Tending to Grace by Kimberly Newton Fusco
Cornelia has a few difficulties: when she chooses to talk--she stutters, she is poor, she has been put in classes inappropriate for her learning level and her mother leaves her with her very strange older great-aunt whom she has never met before. This is a coming of age story and Cornelia has things to sort out in order to move on and grow up.
