Young Phyllis is back, filled with boundless hope and trepidation. And titillating hormones. She has discovered (gasp!) love. This is not a tale exclusively about the tribulations of first love, heartache and pesky morals. ItÕs the continuation of Phyllis LambertÕs coming of age trilogy to which we were joyfully introduced in Lilacs I. The genius of April Laine, narrator par excellence, makes us privy to a multitude of teenage secrets hidden from the inquiring mind of our intrepid Phyllis. April serves as young PhyllisÕs Boswell, for those of you sufficiently erudite to recall his biography of Dr. Johnson. And in the style of Boswell she brings the young Phyllis to life even though she is not far emotionally removed from the object of her affection. Young Phyllis swoons, dreams, rages, storms the ramparts of a rural 4-H and Grange society and conquers all but love. This is a book for the sweet of heart. Enjoy!
