Devoted to You

Its 1958. Elvis Presley is on the radio. NASA is in the news. And Emma Chandler has returned to Willette Womens College for her sophomore year. Mrs. Roth has news about her adoption, but it isnt good. Mrs. Roths lawyer cousin has clients who, like Emma, were placed for adoption by Georgia Tann. Contrary to what her parents believe, Tann was a heartless mercenary who took advantage of naïve women, sold their babies, and kept no records. The search for Emmas biological mother seems hopeless.

We Six are all back at Willette: Beth, whose sister is desperately ill; Juanita, now engaged to her longtime love; Nancy, well on her way to being a political activist; Kathleen, quiet and hardworking; and Carolyn, beautiful but somehow mysteriously evasive. Even Joyce, who graduated in June, has returned.

But Paul McCabe hasnt—and worse, Emma hasnt heard from him in three months. When she tells her friends about her unhappy summer, they all have different opinions about what she should do. Then, Paul unexpectedly appears, and her heart is melted by his ardent apology. But what she doesnt know is who hes truly devoted to…and the devastating decision hell make that will change both their lives.
