title: Sarah's Gone Away
author: Monaco, Linda
description: Sarah leaves the familiarity of her urban home to vacation at a dude ranch with her best friend, Kathy. This new land of trees, horses and cowboys, that she finds so unappealing at first, will soon become somewhere Sarah never wants to leave. She learns all about the phases and meanings of a word previously unfamiliar to her- LOVE. It only takes a moment for life changing events to take place. Find out who the "keepers" are and why. This is a love story that captures both the innocence and the romance of the 60's. At 16, all it took was hand holding and slow dancing for Sarah and Rich to fall in love. A typical scenario - boy meets girl, they fall in love and plan to marry- is turned upside down. Before Sarah can plan her wedding, she has one more celebration to attend.
