| Publisher Description: 1961 --- when the world was a nicer place....or so it seemed. The plot follows the lives of five girls - Dee Ann, Mary Ellen, Myra, Kate, and Julie through the last few weeks of their final year in grade school as the realization that their new teenage lives are about to take them their separate ways. Friendship, difficult family issues, heartbreaking confessions, boys, separation, young love...any of the rites of passage a soon-to-be teenager faces can be found here. These are five v-e-r-y different girls, yet the ties of friendship and love always seal the gaps. The question that remains is: Why can't love and friendship seal these same gaps when we grow up? ...And just what do we really lose when we lose our childhood? |
