The Blue Unicorn — Mary Sheldon

All her life, Peggy Holmes had dreamed of going to school in England. Finally, one rainy September morning, she got her wish. She was glad to be escaping from the narrowness of her existence in Martha's Vineyard, thrilled to be away from her strict father, looking forward to school, to making a close friend, to beginning her career as an actress...and to meeting the man with gray eyes whom she felt sure was waiting for her, somewhere in England. But Peggy had forgotten her father's favorite proverb: Be careful what you wish for-because you might just get it. And that winter, all of Peggy's wishes came true. The Blue Unicorn presents a struggle that so many adolescent women relate to as they begin to deal with love and passion for the first time.
