Books with author Lenora (Mattingly) Weber

This is happiness, thought Beany Malone. The rhythm of "we're in love, we're engaged" sang through her as she thought about Carlton Buell and the beautiful engagement ring he had given her. But her happiness began to dwindle as problems intruded- not only her own, but those of her friends, and in true Beany fashion, any problem of a friend is Beany's problem. In this book Lenora Mattingly Weber leads Beany through some of the most critical problems of a young girl in love. Beany fans, both new and old, will suffer and rejoice with her as she struggles through the delight and the pain of becoming a woman, as she arrives at a clearer vision of her own life and the lives around her.

It seemed at the beginning of the new year that Beany had to worry only about what dress she would wear to the dinner dance with her best boy friend, Marine Corps Corporal, Andy Kern. She could see it all- Andy, handsome in his dress blues, lost in admiration as she floated toward him in her misty green brocade. But life was to make stern demands on Beany before that school year was over. And she turned, in her despair, to Tony Lombard, who was as tormented as Beany herself. She felt that family had deserted her, that Andy did not understand her, that her most intimate friends were unperceptive.
