YA-These refreshingly upbeat stories are based on the columns written by the author, editor-in-chief of Victoria Magazine, under her pen name. While not completely autobiographical, the selections are her remembrances of family and friends who influenced her growing-up years and beyond. With the death of her mother when she was five, and her father's remarriage two years later, this bewildered child and her sister, 10 years older, became part of her stepmother's large Midwestern family. Lindemeyer's stepgrandmother, Bertha Maude Keithley, came to live with the newly created family and became the child's confidante and unfailing supporter. The woman's encouragement helped her pursue her dream of college as she struggled with summer jobs. Many of the stories center around this relationship; others focus on more distant family members. This picture of warm, caring families, told with fondness and humor and with glimpses of the creation of a fashionable magazine, will appeal to young adults, especially those who enjoy Jan Karon's books. While some of the stories seem Pollyanna-ish, woven through them is the career path of a successful woman who values home and family as a source of comfort and strength.
