Dinny Gordon by Anne Emory
I am going to review this entire series at one time. These books are set in the 50's outside Chicago, a time when it was still an up and coming city. Times were more proper, when a girl didn't go out for a nice evening without a hat and gloves. They show small-town life and coming of age through the eyes and experiences of a girl from the first day of high school in Dinny Gordon: Freshman to ready to head off to college in Dinny Gordon: Senior.
Throughout the four books, Dinny learns, questions herself, tries new things, makes mistakes, falls in love, sets goals, makes and loses friends, and discovers a passion for an obscure subject. I love the historical setting, but although times have changed--people haven't!
