Each chapter stands alone as its own short story, centering on a different adventure or crisis-including telling lies, going on a first date, and finding and losing love. In one such chapter, Laney accepts a job at a resort where her first love works-only for him to dump her after helping her secure the job. Crestfallen, she decides to stay anyway and brave whatever comes her way.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eReaders get a look inside Laney's thinking as she confronts each dilemma in her own headstrong way-though she always learns from her parents and those around her. Her determination and personal growth become the core theme of this lighthearted novel, which is at once a nostalgic read for adults who grew up during a different era and a timeless coming-of-age tale for today's teens.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Esther Escott\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0692680101\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780692680100\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Escottbooks\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/27\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.47lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.25w x 0.42d","brand":"Esther Escott","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43981120045311,"sku":"9780692680100","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9bb718db-0ece-4f3a-a717-2ff67f703f5f.jpg?v=1683253766","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/plum-bottom-esther-escott-9780692680100","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
