Brief description:
From the dust jacket:
Note: Tippy is Penny Parrish's younger sister.
A year in another country can be a very, very long time, and Tippy Parrish is not at all sure she is going to like the changes time has wrought ion this side of the Atlantic. For one thing, pretty clothes" cost much more than they did a year: ago. And people have changed too: Bobby, unpredictable brother Bobby, wants to leave West Point to go into advertising; and Alice Jordon, Tippy's beloved “Alcie,” seems just a shade distant, with a secret she doesn’t care to share.
But most painful of all to Tippy is that her dear Peter Jordon keeps getting lost behind a smoke screen of memories raised by handsome Lieutenant Ken Prescott whom she left behind in Germany.
Tippy is frankly bewildered. Then out of a clear sky, war in Korea looms, and the entire Parrish clan is forced into making some pretty important decisions. How does Tippy handle the situation? In her very special “Tippy" way -- and what could be more fascinating!
