Summary

What if you could go back to high school and relive your first romance? Would it bring back good memories? That's what this book does, using a series of love letters written in the sixties by a young girl, Sally Logan, who lived in Manhattan. She was writing to her boyfriend in the suburbs, separated by 50 miles of train track and expensive long-distance telephone rates. They had the same ups and downs as young couples who saw each other every day, but wrote letters during the week. Sally's surfaced recently, and are reproduced here. She writes of going to the movies ("Thunderball"), listening to music on the radio ("Bobby" Dylan) and riding in a new car called a Mustang. As the young couple's romance blossomed, the world news was about Vietnam, race riots and space shots. World events and the number one song of each week are intertwined with Sally's letters. If they don't remind you of your first romance, they'll show you how it could have been.
