I Never Promised You A Rose Garden (novel)

I Never Promised You a Rose Garden (1964) is a semi-autobiographical novel by Joanne Greenberg, written under the pen name of Hannah Green. It was made into a film in 1977 and a play in 2004. Neither the novel nor the film or play should be confused with "(I Never Promised You A) Rose Garden", the Joe South song, most famously recorded by Lynn Anderson in 1970.
