Love Is Enough — Jean Carew

At twenty, Julie Dakin stood before the mirror in her bridal gown, on her wedding day, and suddenly realized that she had been cherished and pampered all her life without ever being allowed to think for herself. Now she began to take stock and, frighteningly, to wonder is she really wanted to become Philip Quarles' wife. As the wonder became doubt and the doubt certainly, she fled to the Catskills, to the one person in the world on whom she could depend for understanding and sympathy: Vera Judson, former social secretary to Julie's mother.

As she helped Vera in her new profession -- the restoration of old Colonial homes -- Julie found am embryonic interest she had head in architecture growing and maturing. At the same time, acquaintance with a young lumberman who lived nearby gave her an insight into a sort of life she had never known existed.
