Be Sure It's Love — Florence Stuart

was it true that Julie couldn't care about anyone else the way she had once cared about Pat Reilly...or was she only afraid to.

Past and Present...
Julie Bliss was 16 when she fell in love with Pat Reilly, a boy from "the wrong side of the tracks," the boy her mother refused to let her marry. But while other girls loved and lost and forgot, Julie had never been able to forget -- not in seven years -- and she had never been able to fall in love again. Now, taking a friend's advice, she had come home to Jewel Bay... to see Pat, face reality, admit that all these years she had been holding on to nothing more than a romantic childhood memory. But... was that all it was? She did see Pat and felt... something. Was it love? Then there was journalist Morley Hale whom she'd known only a short time. She was attracted to him. Was that love? Before Julie could decide, she had to find the answer to the most important question of all: What is Love?
