There's Always Tomorrow

Pretty young Holly Gramm had worshipped Steve Lindegren for as long as she could remember, knowing it was hopeless. Steve was the heir of the oldest and richest family in East Valley, and he hardly knew that Holly existed. When sophisticated Jean Forster came to be a guest at a Lindegren mansion, Holly could see Steve fall under the city girl's spell. Jane was using Steve as a plaything, but how could Holly interfere, though it tore her apart to see the man she adored being turned into a fool in love. It took a dramatic crisis as flood waters threaten the valley, and a startling declaration from the handsome, mysterious man called Bill Henderson, for Holly to learn the truth about the longings of her heart and her power as a woman.

Holly Graham kept house for her grandfather, old Eph Ewing and there were times when she almost despaired of having the happy times that she knew girls did. The only thing that made life endurable for Holly was the hope that someday Steve Lindgren would ask her to be his wife. Steve and his father, Old Steve, lived at Lindgren Acres, the beautiful estate that had been in the Lindgren family for generation--the Oregon pears raised there known the world over.

Just now, Steven was away on a selling trip, and Holly was wearing her heart out hoping for word from him. Steve had given her reason for hoping, after all, she was the only girl in Shady Glen he ever dated.

Then Holly heard that Steve was back at Lindgren Acres--but not alone. The Lindgrens were entertaining beautiful Jane Forrester and her mother from New York City.

It was no consolation for Holly to be invited to Lindgren Acres to meet Steve's guests, no consolation to be escorted there by Bish Henderson, who had come to Easy Valley for reasons which he never divulged. But it was some consolation to make herself more beautiful than Steve had ever seen her...
