Does anyone have an idea what book this is?
I read a book years ago and don’t remember what it was called or who it was by but here is what I remember.
The main character was a girl who was in her early teens. Her father had been in Vietnam and had flashbacks at a few points in the story. She had an older sister who snuck in and out at night to fool around with a teacher of hers, eventually the sister runs away with him and moves to california? The family lives in Long Island, and the girls go to a beauty school for a little while. The main character doesn’t like beauty school, but she finds a pottery shop and learns how to do pottery with the guy who owns the shop and she falls in love with him, but they don’t wind up together… She also likes another boy who she grew up with.
That’s all I remember. I loved the book and read it once when I was a kid. Does anyone know what it could be???
If you check Amazon.com Books under “Women’s Fiction” and type in ” 2 Daughters” to the left of “Go” you’ll get 245 selections of books with maybe 1 being the title and author you seek. I didn’t have the time needed to look through them all for you, but I hope I’ve given you a place to start…Good luck!
