A novel likely written in the early 20th century. This installment follows the titular character, Grace Harlowe, as she navigates the challenges and excitement of her senior year in high school alongside her friends Anne, Nora, Jessica, and Mabel. As they prepare for the future and grapple with the changing dynamics of their friendships, issues of identity, family, and the coming transitions to college loom large. The opening of the book introduces a poignant moment as Grace and her friends bid farewell to their male companions heading off to college, foreshadowing their longing for the bonds they've built during high school. Amid their emotional goodbyes, an unexpected and dramatic car accident occurs, compelling the girls to assist an injured woman who bears a striking resemblance to their friend Mabel, who is an orphan taken in by the group. This powerful opening sets the stage for revelations about identity and family, particularly revolving around Mabel's mysterious origins, and hints at the complexities of new beginnings and the bittersweet nature of goodbyes as they transition into adulthood.
