Two friends, one exciting invitation. In 1917, Dolly Fayre and Dotty Rose receive a remarkable opportunity: a week in New York City with their wealthy friend Bernice Forbes and her enigmatic uncle. What begins as simple anticipation builds into something more profound as the girls navigate the wonders and challenges of the big city. Dolly's mother harbors doubts about the trip, and Dolly herself wrestles with hesitation, but the pull of adventure proves irresistible. Carolyn Wells, one of the most popular American authors of her era, captures the electricity of youthful friendship set against the backdrop of a nation at war. This is a story about the thrill of new experiences, the bonds that strengthen through shared adventure, and the delicate balance between childhood innocence and the first stirrings of independence.
