Christina McNeil's need to adjust and mature confronts her suddenly when her journalist father announces that the family will move to a New England village where he has purchased a newspaper. Not only does this interrupt her plans to attend the college of her choice--this must wait a year--but it separates her from her friends and above all, from Pete, her young man. But it is just this love for Pete and his insistence that she is potentially a person of real stature that encourages her to become involved in the new community and in her father's newspaper adventure. A wholesome, reassuring story which does a pretty accurate job of conveying late adolescent moods and notions.
