City of Belmont - Ruth Faulkner Public Library

Star Sullivan: Star Sullivan just wanted everyone to be happy – her father to stop gambling, her mother not to work so hard, her brother to stay out of trouble, her sister to stop worrying about every little thing she ate. Then the Hale family moved in next door, and from the moment Star saw 23-year-old Laddy Hale, everything began to change – until Star was no longer the sweet, thoughtful girl everyone loved and no one worried about ... The Garden Party and Other Stories: A collection of short stories including: The Garden Party – Helen looked down at Mrs. Kennedy's garden. It was cheerfully coloured yet ordered, like Mrs. Kennedy. But first impressions are not always reliable. The Special Sale – Yvonne's good deed leads to a romantic encounter on the day after Christmas. The Sensible Celebration – Are the picture-perfect couple really the ones to envy? All is not as it seems ... Dolly's Mother – If you were square and solid and without colour and grace, it was sometimes easy to hate Mother.
