About This Book

A group of young women raised on a sheltered ranch broaden their horizons by touring Europe, beginning with a revealing week at sea that brings them into contact with varied personalities. Their travels take them through foreign cities and social scenes where cultural differences, attractions, and misunderstandings prompt personal tests and changing loyalties. Episodes such as formal dances, chance acquaintances, and a wedding mark moments of growth and reconciliation. Over the course of the journey each girl gains new experience and self-awareness, and the narrative balances light adventure, social maneuvering, and the steady support of close friendship.
