Beany Malone
Lenora Mattingly Weber
Mass Market Paperback
(Berkley Highland, July 6, 1963)
As usual, there's lots of activity in the motherless Malone family of Denver, Colorado. For example, Elizabeth, the eldest daughter, has her hands full taking care of her baby son while her soldier husband is overseas. Older brother Johnny is blessed with many talents, but can't seem to organize them. And beautiful Mary Fred is wrestling with the special problems of her first year at college. This leaves Beany--the youngest, but really the most conscientious of the clan, to take charge when their father gets doctor's orders to go away for a rest. And Beany finds that managing everything and everybody--including her own first romance--is quite a task!
