New Boy in Town — Dorothy Brenner Francis / Dorothy Francis

Resenting her parents restrictions Stacey Hipner creates a web of deception with the new boy Garr Garwin but is she really interested in him or merely creating her own independence?

Sixteen-year-old Stacey Hipner constantly asks herself. Though she loves and respects her parents, she resents their restrictions -- especially when it involves Garr Garwin, the new boy in town.
