JS Here we are again in Alice's life, this time in the summer before her junior year in high school. Usually she works in her father's music shop during the vacation, but this year he suggests she gets some experience working in the "real world" and so she works in a mall department store, with numerous challenges there. Her wonderful older brother is sure he has met the woman he wants to marry, but when he proposes, she rejects him, and the family has to try to hold him together when he is crushed by the failure of this dream. Alice and her friends continue to share their worries, hopes, and experiences with each other. This particular installment in Alice's life is relatively calm and uneventful, but we can see her maturing and we enjoy sharing her life. For all those readers growing up with Alice. Claire n. 1.
