About This Book
A spirited young woman, born abroad into an affluent American family, contends with social expectations, family loyalties, and intimate friendships while striving for personal independence. Her startling wish to be forced to earn her own living alarms relatives and sets a course of misunderstandings, moral tests, and emotional reckonings. Episodes of travel, social life, and private letters reveal tensions of pride, loyalty, faith, and forgiveness, and the narrative follows her gradual maturation as loyalties and responsibilities are clarified and loose threads of relationship and conscience are resolved.
