I'LL GET THERE -- IT BETTER BE WORTH THE TRIP
New York : Dell, 1969.
IL YA
Davy lived with her grandmother until she died. Then Mom, complete with drinking problem, resumes her parental duty and doesn't let Davy forget it. Davy has to move from Boston to New York City and the new friendship at his Episcopal-run private school helps him cope with the less-than-ideal home situation -- though this friendship too is less than ideal. In one moment of reaching out to his friend, he enters the confusion of affection and sex and resolves the conflict with the notion of respect.
