Books with author Rosamond Neal Du Jardin

Graduation seems far away to Pam and Penny, as they start their second year of college, especially since their marriages are postponed until their fiances' graduations. But college days are crowded days and many things happen to shorten the waiting. Then sooner than Pam and Penny ever dreamed possible, it's commencement time... will a double wedding follow?

New softcover - Tobey Heydon and Brose Gilman put their special friendship to the test when they chose colleges a thousand miles apart. To make it worse for Tobey, it seems that Brose can't write more than a ten-line letter! Tobey's plans for a happy summer reunion with Brose are dashed when a Texas heiress gets him a summer job on her father's ranch. Will Brose succumb to Jan Shelby, or is his love for Tobey "the real thing?"

Midge Heydon's sophomore year in high school does not get off to a good start. Her best friend, Judy, is leaving town and Tom Brooks is two hundred miles away. It isn't until smooth and glamorous Sandra becomes her friend that Midge feels that the winter is going to be anything but dreary. Midge is flattered when Sandra's clique shows an interest in her. Midge wonders if she should abandon her childhood friends to become "one of the crowd."

The climax of Marcy's last year in high school was destined to be the Senior Prom. From Christmas vacation on it was a busy and happy time for Marcy. There was her appointment as feature editor of the school paper, her regular chess games with sweet old Mr. Tuttle, and an exciting trip to Washington and New York. Perhaps most notably was the problem of Bruce and Rick. Bruce, with his yellow convertible and his charm, his humor and good looks....Rick, reliable, unselfish, and attractive, but shy and unable to dance...and Senior Prom a few weeks off!

When Tobey Heydon wears Brose's class ring, her family insists that it be understood they are not "going steady." This inevitably leads straight into difficulties and misunderstandings. But what Brose likes best about Tobey-better even than her nearly-red hair and her smile-is that she is so honest. A boy appreciates that quality in a girl. So when she tells him she is going to a college dance with another man, he is secretly reassured even while he growls. However, things become more and more complicated until the class ring changes hands-for a while.

All the fun of high school graduation and that special summer before college are heightened for Tobey Heydon when dashing Dick Allen adds his attentions to those she is receiving from her favorite young man, Brose Gilman. And the plot really curdles (along with Brose's feelings), when Tobey meets a handsome artist who seems to be the object behind her non-objective paintings. But Brose gets his revenge, and it's not only sweet, it's hilarious.

The summer of Twink's junior year at high school stretched ahead. She hoped for a job but so far none was in sight. After deciding that it was a mistake to "go steady" she broke it off with Ronny. Although there might be lonely evenings ahead, at least life would have more variety...and variety there was! First, Jay moved next door seeming cold and aloof. Then a series of incidents and the warmth of Twink's family broke down his wall of reserve. Twink grew fond of Jay, and thoroughly enjoyed his swimming pool and red Jaguar, but it was Gary who she really liked.... Would Gary only have eyes for pretty and sophisticated Lib?
