Title: Scarlett Greene
Description: Leaving behind her Southern accent, her eccentric, slovenly family, and 25 pounds, teenaged Scarlett heads north to college in this funny, ribald tale. As picaresque as the story of a respectable girl in the early 1960s could be, this follows her role changes from premed grind to adoring fiancee, from contented wife to single mother in a hippy commune. When the struggle to maintain herself and her half-black son almost becomes too much, her crusty physician grandfather proves to be more generous than she thought possible and lets her see herself again as a valued and competent person. Zestily written, this is a highly recommended novel by the author of Family Trappings . Christine M. Hill, Free Lib. of Philadelphia
