Description: "Gloria Cotter, a sorority girl and prom queen, has just graduated from college, Class of '57. She's spending the summer at home, in a West Virginia steel town where her father is bucking for CEO and her mother reigns over the country club set. Clad in Traina-Norell dresses and Ben Zuckerman suits, pinned to the rich, good-looking scion of a coal fortune who adores her, Gloria has attained all that a girl can aspire to. The time has come for her to assume her next role, that of wife.

But the girl who has everything wants - something else." "Gloria is about friendship, loyalty, sexuality and love, and the dynamic of family. But mostly it is about Gloria Cotter and her last summer at home before setting out for the larger world."--BOOK JACKET.
