Is there a book that has really stayed with you over the years? What about it stuck?

A natural way to answer

There is one novel I read years ago that has really stayed with me. It dealt with growing up and finding your place, and I read it at a moment when I was going through something similar. That's probably why it left such a lasting impression.
