Jane Allen, Center

A spirited young college student leaves her family ranch to return for her junior year and the story follows her lively campus life and home ties. Episodes range from athletic contests, team rivalries, and student elections to social fashions, friendships, and errands in town. Interwoven are more dramatic incidents—a lost girl, a tragic event affecting a team, puzzling clues, and unexpected alliances—that prompt investigation, loyalty, and courage. The narrative moves episodically through everyday joys and sudden trials as the heroine and her circle confront campus politics, personal challenges, and discoveries that lead toward resolution.
