    Hardcover (Thomas Y. Crowell, July 6, 1960)
    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.
