The Grown-ups

[light shelfwear, some fading to cloth in upper part of covers, some discoloration to endpapers (in gutters); jacket is edgeworn and rubbes, with some creasing and light soiling, various small chips and tears, a bit of paper loss to both ends of spine]. The author's second novel, "a searching and understanding story of a girl's childhood that will pull at the heartstrings of any person who remembers something of his or her own little tortures and triumphs in the complicated business of growing up." The book follows her from childhood, through the trauma of her parents' divorce, until "she emerges finally as a self-reliant, high-spirited young woman, an outstanding fiture in the exclusive girls' boarding school (pictured by Miss Whitcomb with rare and malicious humor) where her socially ambitious father has sent her."
