Sandy

by Elizabeth Janet Gray

Sandy at 17, has just finished her freshman year at college. She is restless in the small, exclusive summer resort near Boston -- her father is in the Navy, most of the "old gang" are in the service, everyone is "doing something". But her father and her aunt, with whom she lives, will not let her take a city job. So she takes a job as waitress at the Windrush Inn, hoping to thereby bridge the social gap and get to know the "natives". But it doesn't work that way, though she has adventures, falls in love and ultimately resolves her restlessness by deciding to give up college and join UNRRA.
