Overview
From the author of The Last of the Whitfields and New Girl comes an emotional and heart-wrenching story about the maneuvers of a Southern girl as she returns home from a trip abroad and faces the reality of her family and questions her own existence.
While abroad in Norway, Winky Carr fell madly in love with a Northerner named Walter, but after the two consummated their love, Walter disappeared, leaving Winky disappointed and heartbroken.
