Brief description:
From the dust jacket:
WHILE TIPPY PARRISH eagerly awaited the arrival of Ken Prescott, she dreamed of love and marriage. And when she found his sentiments to be the same as hers, her happiness bubbled over.
Then, quite suddenly, Ken’s leave was cancelled. With a heavy heart, Tippy put away the lovely tablecloth she had purchased for their game of make-believe at being married.
As Tippy bravely saw Ken off to Korea on the morning plane, she gave some serious thought to the months that lay ahead. She would learn how to knit, to sew, and to cook, against the day when they would be reunited once again. She would write him regularly, and look forward to receiving his precious letters.
Busy with school -- with comforting Peter Jordon and the weekly hops at West Point -- time did pass. But one day, the world almost came to an end for Tippy, and all her hopes were shattered ...
