About This Book
A sixteen-year-old girl spending a summer away from home discovers first love with a young man recently freed from an engagement while she moves through boarding-house life and small-town society. Between family visits, parties, and plans for a communal picnic she observes social rivalries, tests of friendship, and the burdens of material expectation, reflecting on kindness and personal priorities. The narrative unfolds episodically as romantic hopes, family loyalties, and civic obligations prompt growth and self-awareness during an eventful season.
