This little hardback book is a treasure to read and reread. It asks "what was the best summer of your life?" The author and her fellow U of Iowa classmate take the train across the country to NYC with the promise of plentiful jobs, Midshipmen and adventures galore. What they find are lots of other coeds in need of employment... but their blond good looks and wholesome Midwestern innocence land them jobs as Tiffany's first female employees. (Wartime, you know.) Follow the author and her friends through VJ day in this sweet story.
