review 2: The story line is about a young woman living with her father and her grandmother, smalltown.....she is in love with the boy next door who goes to Vietnam and is reported missingand presumed dead...enters a flamboyant young woman claiming to be engaged to the boy nextdoor, much to the suprise of his mother and the main character who always assumed she wouldmarry him & live happily forever after.
