When Betsy Ray arrives in New York after a tour of Europe, her old flame Joe Willard is waiting at the dock. Before he even says hello, he asks Betsy to marry him. They've been separated for a year, and they're determined never to be apart again.
But as Betsy discovers, marriage isn't all candlelight, kisses, and roses. There's cooking, ironing, and budgeting as well--not to mention forging her career as a writer. For Betsy, the writing part comes naturally, but cooking is another matter. It's even harder than algebra--and much messier.
Luckily Betsy Ray--make that Betsy Willard--has always thrived on challenge. Her name my have changed, but her life remains as full of love and laughter as it's been since she was a little girl on Hill Street in the first of the classic BETSY-TACY books. Illustrated by Vera Neville
