Blind-Girl's-Buff — Evelyn Berckman

This is the story of Angela Kelso, the “Angie” whose beauty and cajoling charm had enabled her to dance away from every responsibility. But there was one nagging curiosity that Angie could not elude. She knew that the parents with whom she lived were adoptive parents only. Who was her real mother? And her father?

Nothing could be so bad, Angie felt, as not knowing. Yet what if she went ahead blindfold and blundered into something? A terrible curiosity urged her on to do what she was afraid to do -- to go where she was afraid to go…

There is a rising tension as slowly Angie succeeds in groping her way against threats and her own foreboding into the dark alleys of her origin. And a grim surprise awaits the reader when the last door in unlocked.
