Overview
Childhood relinquishes its grip as the 1950s lure Mandy Rossiter into adolescence. For Mandy it is a time of comparing her body's physical changes with that of her peers. When a classmate "gets into trouble" and old wives tales flourish. Mandy feels robbed of identity as her friends wear makeup and trousers and her parents hold old-fashioned views. Then one day an older boy pursues Mandy. The type her father forbids her to see, wearing stovepipes, slicked back hair, smart-ass, dressed all in black. It is a time of young love. Of temptation. And betrayal. Mandy's story begins with the gift of a diary and her friend Peggy's Big Secret. Meant for her eyes only.Book Details
