Teen-Age Romances #35

Jenny, a sixteen-year-old girl chafing under her strict mother's control, learns of a new resort hotel opening nearby and dreams of escaping her isolated farm life to work there. When her mother forbids it, Jenny decides to run away—but her decision sets her on a path that will test her innocence in ways she never anticipated. Written with the perspective of an older Jenny looking back on her youthful mistakes, this story follows the heartaches and despair that catch up with runaways, told as a cautionary tale she hopes will warn other girls.

A counter girl at a truck-stop diner, Hildy had written off the regulars as dead-end prospects—until she learns that Al Davis might be more than just another driver. When circumstances throw them together and romance blooms fast, Hildy finds herself caught between ambition and her growing feelings for him, only to discover that nothing about Al's background is quite what she'd been led to believe.
